Thorpe Family Residence, a transitional shelter for homeless women and children, has many volunteer opportunities available. Volunteer tasks range from tutoring, mentoring, babysitting, assisting children with recreational activities, as well as helping Thorpe mothers get their GED diploma. Above we see a Fordham student with a Thorpe child on a trip to the Statue of liberty.
