Volunteer
Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.
Muhammed Ali
Help someone master the skills necessary for survival in today’s increasingly complex world. By sharing your talents and your positive attitude toward learning, you can experience the joy of helping others realize their personal potential and work toward their educational goals.

Metro South volunteers play a critical role in helping adult learners enrolled in Metro South Adult Basic Education. As advocates of lifelong learning, MSABE volunteers have helped thousands of students prepare for the GED test, earn a high school diploma, or learn English as a second language.
