Mentoring young people is one way Vermonters volunteer. This hour, we talk with Mentoring Vermont about how potential mentors can get involved.

Volunteering can be a fulfilling way to connect with your local community. But it can be hard to find the right gig.

This hour, host Mikaela Lefrak will talk with volunteers as well as organizations that need more volunteers to help mentor students, deliver meals and get wood to people for heat this winter.

Our guests are:

Bill Aikman, volunteer mentor
Chad Butt, executive director of Mentor Vermont in Burlington
Bob Woodard, director of Meals on Wheels of Central Vermont in Barre
Eric Axelrod, founder of Wood 4 Good Vermont in Jericho

Broadcast live on Monday, Jan. 23, 2023, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
