Non-Profit Leadership Opportunities
Graduate Greenville: Graduate Greenville is currently seeking mentors for 7 male students at Greenville High School, 4 female students from Greer High School, and 10 male and 5 female students at Berea High School. These students have been identified as potential high school dropouts and need additional adult role models in their lives. Mentors agree to make a one year commitment to spend 4 - 6 hours with students per month to provide friendship, encouragement, and guidance. Registration and matches are handled by Big Brothers Big Sisters Upstate.

Board of Directors Leadership Opportunities
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF): JDRF is looking for volunteers and candidates for board positions. JDRF’s mission is to fund research to find a cure for Type One Diabetes. Locally our chapter provides leadership to educate and support for families dealing with the disease and to manage our three major fund raisers – The Walk, The Ride and the Gala. Experts fully believe that Type One Diabetes can be cured – not just treated but cured – in the near future based on current advances being funded by JDRF.
This is a great opportunity to expand your community leadership with a fun group of volunteers and to be a part of the generation that cures diabetes.
