Taking Action

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -- Margaret Mead

Today, our local paper highlights the volunteer tutoring services that students from NC Central University are providing to students at Hillside High School. Both of these schools share Genesis Home's neighborhood. In the story , NC Central student Geoffrey Cooper says, "You don't have to be a millionaire. You don't have to be a philanthropist. You don't have to be a world-class educator....It's not about the title you hold. It's about the role you play."

We couldn't agree more. In response, we say --

You don't have to be a millionaire. You can help can help end homelessness with just a small amount of money. You don't have to be a world-class athlete. You can achieve beyond your wildest dreams by simply putting one foot in front of the other. You don't have to do any of this on your own. You can join us in the journey.

It's not about the title you hold. It's about the role you play.
