Infinite Family: Reaching Out Across the World


Kids in sub-Sahara Africa make friends and find mentors around the world through Infinite Family.  The organization connects volunteers from their own homes anywhere in the world with children in Southern Africa.  For those who choose to become mentors, it's an opportunity to share advice, direction, their lives, and to listen to child in need.


Volunteers must commit to 30 minutes a week for one year.  Infinite Family provides training and connects mentors to vulnerable children by video conferences.  Pre-teens and teenagers speak face-to-face with their "net buddies." Youth may talk about a homework challenge, career options, their dreams, and life in general.  The point is that someone is listening and cares.
