I could not have chosen a better nonprofit to help serve the Greensboro community with.” –Successful1971

Children of Vietnam

“Children of Vietnam is a humanitarian organization dedicated to building communities and providing pathways to success for children and their families in Vietnam, breaking the generational cycle of poverty.

For almost a quarter century, COV has made a real impact for families in areas of Vietnam that need a boost.” –Patrick E.1

My experience with Piedmont Wildlife Rehab has been nothing but positive and I have learned so much. Thanks PWR! Keep up the hard work!” –eyasb

Mental Health Greensboro

“I interned at MHG for six months and it turned into a life-changing event. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I learned so much about what it meant to live with a mental health challenge and the misconceptions surrounding mental health. Definitely appreciate my experience here.” –Volunteer

 

Guilford Green Foundation

“The impact this foundation has had on so many lives is overwhelming. The grants provided to small LGBT groups have helped a multitude of people in their day-to-day lives. I feel confident in the board to be good stewards of their funds and would not hesitate to recommend to others to become a part of this organization” –Sue F

NCCJ of the Piedmont Triad

“I have had the privilege of working as a volunteer with this wonderful organization for several years. The ANYTOWN program made a difference in my life and my daughter’s life. Having an opportunity to serve as an ANYTOWN advisor gave me the opportunity to see firsthand how the program has a lasting impact on our young people. It challenges and teaches them how to effectively fight bigotry and racism in their schools and communities! Our community is fortunate to have such an awesome program that promotes diversity!” –MarchelleF

Free the Kids

“I have been volunteering since 2005 for FTK. The impact being made on the children of Haiti is indescribable. I have seen firsthand the positive work being accomplished at Pwoje Espwa, and consider it to be a second home to me.” –espwa

Chosen Productions

“Chosen Production is making a huge impact in the lives of young women, helping to prepare them for college and teaching them the importance of an education. The executive director is wonderful, relatable, and is truly impacting lives.” –Volunteer
