On Common Ground

In 2009, Executive Director Pam Bliss opened the doors of On Common Ground based on her award-winning research to demonstrate that matching adults experiencing poverty with a volunteer mentor would help improve their lives. 335 mentee and resource matches later, Pam's belief in the power of human kindness has proven her research to be true. To date, over 1,200 lives have been impacted through the positive outcomes our mentees have achieved in our Mentor Center.
