Mercy Street is seeking individuals, couples and families to walk alongside children and their families to close opportunity gaps and ignite transformational change. Mentoring not only transforms mentees, but makes a life-changing impact on mentors. Mentors receive coaching and support from Mentor Coordinators, employed by Mercy Street. Mercy Street asks mentors to commit to this relationship for one year up front.

Mercy Street empowers students to grow up fulfilling their God-given potential, knowing their God-given purpose. One of the ways they accomplish this goal is by running sports leagues in the spring and fall, and sports camps in the summer. Volunteer coaches are responsible for coaching soccer and baseball teams of athletes 18 years and younger for the duration of the season. Assistant coaches are also needed to serve on a more intermittent basis. Both head coaches and assistant coaches are considered role models for athletes assigned to their teams.

One of the greatest desires of many international students at SMU is to find an internship or job in the United States. However, this is surprisingly difficult in a foreign country in a second language. There are so many cultural elements at play. Volunteer to come alongside them to review resumes or help navigate specific fields (telecomm, engineering, business analytics, software, etc.). RUF International staff will connect you with specific needs.

Amidst Covid precautions, international students are more hesitant to go out to the grocery store and to utilize car sharing services to do so.

This is a great opportunity to meet a physical need while also starting a friendship with a student.
