SECOND MILE FRIEND FITNESS PROGRAM… …helping youth develop inner & outer strength: The Second Mile Friend Fitness Program is looking for volunteers who are interested in working with youth in a 1-on-1 mentoring relationship. Friend Fitness is an individualized strength training program designed to help students reach fitness goals and to provide support in working on personal goals in other areas of life. We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who are committed to having a positive impact on the life of a teenager. Becoming a mentor does not require past experience in strength training or with mentoring youth. We provide individualized training for each mentor in the areas of workout regimen, communication, and adolescent development. The key tool that a mentor must bring to the program is a willingness to care consistently. We would love to have you come for a visit and see what Friend Fitness is all about! For more information, contact Virginia Meadows at 814-237-1719 or email at virginia@thesecondmile.org.
