Thoughts on Volunteer Experience.

"...Volunteering every Tuesday night is a highlight of my week. It is fun, rewarding, and occasionally challenging working with the kids. More importantly it is very fulfilling coming to a place where I can feel evidence of God's work in the lives of the kids and the community Little Lights serves. I have sincerely enjoyed my time volunteering at Little Lights and I look forward to being involved for a long time to come!" --Ryan Pemberton, Reading Heroes volunteer
