The city wanted to offer a safe way for those kids to walk into new neighborhoods by having Adult Volunteers who know the area escort kids to school. It cuts down on the number of fights that break out between kids and plus it builds a bond. If our volunteers come out, they see that this person is dependable, theyre concerned. And its a beautiful feeling that even through the summertime, they will run up to our volunteers, i remember you.
