If you have a child, grandchild, niece or nephew, or if you just want to make a difference in a youngster's life, join our Dudes On Duty program at McCord Elementary and Vernon Elementary. The first step is filling out the volunteer application. Youngsters need to see positive male role models!! Volunteering just 30 to 40 minutes a week can make a difference!
