The second mile is a local phenomenon. This service organization does so much to help Pennsylvania youth. I've had a number of friends who have worked with the summer camp programs, and they said the experience changed their lives. So not only does this organization help the youth, it impacts the community members who get involved.
There are various throughout the year where you can get involved by volunteering. I would say that it is an especially good activity for those who are just moving to the area and want to meet other community members interested in working with youth.
