Does it always take a big commitment to help keep teens in school and on the path to graduation?
No, visit the Take Action section of BoostUp.org to find various mentoring and volunteer opportunities in your community with commitments that range from big to small. There are many ways for you to support students and not all of them require a large time commitment: Send a note/text/email to a student letting him or her know you care, call a student and make sure he/she is getting up and off to school on time, become a mentor or volunteer with a youth service provider like the Boys and Girls Club of America or Big Brothers Big Sisters. The most important thing is that you take action and support teens in your community.
