Speaker Urges Community to Volunteer as Mentors, Calls Volunteers 'Needed'

An unidentified speaker urged community members to step forward as mentors or coaches for young people, saying the people they reach out to are "really needed." The speaker framed a program challenge as a way to create opportunities for volunteers to work with participating organizations and to fill a community need.

The speaker said there is "a long list of young people out there who need your help" and urged volunteers to act out of service rather than financial reward or personal glory. "You are needed," the speaker said, adding that the program will help match volunteers with organizations that can use coaches and mentors.

The presentation emphasized recruitment and encouragement: potential volunteers may not realize the value they can offer, the speaker said, and the initiative is intended to make it easier for them to step into mentoring roles. The remarks focused on outreach and motivation rather than program specifics such as partner names, funding, or timelines, which were not specified in the transcript.

The presenter characterized the effort as community-centered and repeatedly returned to the message that volunteering is about meeting a real need among youth. The session closed without recorded formal actions or votes; next steps for the program (partner identification, formal enrollment process, or scheduling) were not described in the provided transcript.
