The Organization of Human Services has partnered with the Second Mile to provide its Friend Program here on Villanovas campus. Once per month, at-risk children from surrounding communities will be bussed to campus for an afternoon of activities and mentorship with our student volunteers. These programs will be the building blocks of relationships between these young people and their Villanova partners. Join OHS and become a founding member of this statewide program now being offered in the southeastern region of Pennsylvania, right here at Villanova!!
