Quixote Quest

Agency Details:

Quixote Quests engages teens into consistent and meaningful community service, and encourages a life-ling commitment to volunteerism and philanthropy.

Description:
Quixote Quest is an organization that helps teens to connect to consistent and meaningful volunteer service in their area. Structured as a Volunteer Club, the teens come together from different high schools to support and celebrate the commitment that their fellow club members have made to make a difference. The teens each volunteer weekly for two hours at a cause that interests them. QQ helps to place them at volunteer sites that respect the value of youth volunteerism. QQ is like a college community service fraternity/sorority. These dedicated teens raise the bar setting a higher standard for youth service.

History:
QQ started in 2002 in the aftermath of 9/11 in response to the President's call that citizens become more involved in helping others. Each year since 9/11 QQ has opened a new club. There are now six...five in South Jersey and the newest, a sixth club in Mercer County (Hamilton based).

Our Mission is to enrich the lives of Central New Jersey residents by promoting effective volunteerism and service. We do this by:

Providing appropriate training and professional development to the organizations' leaders and staff, offering workshops and other resources to help them effectively recruit, utilize, retain, and recognize volunteers
Partnering with nonprofits, foundations, corporations, government agencies/officials, and other public and private entities to support initiatives and efforts that match our mission and contribute to the public good.
