Quixote Quest

Quixote Quest maintains strong relationships with community organizations who need volunteers and especially like to include teenagers in their important work. QQ helps each teen member to connect with a good cause, while taking into consideration the time and location of the community service, in order that it fits their schedule and transportatio... n is available. Quixote Quest currently has clubs (called Quarters) in Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester counties. There are no dues or fees to join Quixote Quest, just the desire to volunteer once per week, and take an active part in the club. In 2006, Quixote Quest members (called the Qrew) came from over 30 South Jersey high schools, and volunteered at nearly 30 different community causes. Each teen chooses the kind of volunteering that he/she would like to do. Teens commit to QQ because they want to volunteer, not because they are forced to. Once a month, all of the Quixote Quest Qrews come together to do a large Group Service Project (GSP). GSPs are hard work but they are great fun and are a way to meet people from other parts of the state who feel the same about the importance of volunteering. Group Service Projects are not mandatory but nearly half the membership enjoy doing the large service events. It feels like being part of a great big sorority/fraternity which exists to help worthy community causes.Read More
