Be the spark that ignites change in your community!


Volunteers are integral to the success of all of our programs, providing needed assistance to carry out our youth and community programs, operate our community facility and to execute successful fundraising events. We are looking for friendly, energetic and dedicated volunteers who share our passion for building strong families and communities.

Volunteer Opportunities 

  • Youth Programs

    Our youth programs, The Learning Network and The Wisdom Warrior Project, require responsible adults to serve as mentors and advisors to our program participants. We also have need of community leaders and professionals to serve as presenters for designated instructional modules. If you enjoy working with young people to expand their horizons, this is the place for you. 

  • Community Programs

    Through our community programs we provide cultural, economic and social programming to enrich the community. Consider becoming a volunteer for our cultural arts and community enrichment programs and events that create boundless opportunities for youth and families. These programs and events include our Economic Education Series, Art Extravaganza and Honoring Local Heroes event.

  • Community Facility

    The Torch of Wisdom Foundation Plaza exists as a resource to support programs that enrich the community. Rentals for personal events are also available. The Plaza is operated entirely by volunteers that facilitate an enjoyable, safe and secure environment for all program and community participants.

  • Fundraising Events

    Are you interested in helping Torch of Wisdom Foundation raise money to support our programs? We host several fundraising events to support our programs and operation of our community facility and our volunteers are invaluable to these efforts. These events include our charity golf classic and charity raffles.
