| How you help | Our volunteers act as tutors, an open ear, or work behind the scenes to keep our safe and welcoming space running. EDGE offers teens a sense of connection and purpose. It’s more than a place to hang out, stay safe, study and participate in life changing programs – it’s a place where they can interact with caring adults who strive to help teens develop character traits that will enable them to make a positive impact in their world. |
