Quixote Quest is a community based service club for South Jersey teens and a program of the Center for Family Services. The organization assists and mentors the teen volunteer as he/she donates service hours to a community cause of their choice. Teens volunteer their time to a weekly project during the school year, and then come together as a group through club meetings twice monthly. This service takes a major commitment and is suitable for only those driven to "make a difference."
Mission Statement

Quixote Quest is completely unique and unlike any other organization in the best way possible. It offers the opportunity for teens who genuinely just want to help, whether it's the elderly, children, animals, or the disabled to actually receive the satisfaction of knowing they've made a difference. The teens who volunteer with Quixote Quest are dedicated to what they are doing and volunteering with the organization provides a chance for teens to make friends who have a similar desire to make a difference. I would recommend Quixote Quest to anyone that wants to meet great people, make a difference in lives, and is willing to accept a huge and challenge and responsibility.

Quixote Quest was probably one of the most life changing experiences I've ever encountered. You meet some of the most amazing people who completely open your eyes and make an impact on your life in the biggest way possible. You learn that giving back to the community is one of the most amazing feelings you can ever have and knowing you made that impact makes it that much more memorable. It may have been in the smallest way possible but just knowing that you helped brighten someone's day is the reason I joined Quixote Quest.

I joined Quixote Quest late in my freshman year and have been in it for close to two years. Its more than just volunteer work. You make life long friends as you help your community and touch people's lives on very personal levels. You have the chance to volunteer weekly at your own site and then have meetings with your club which is full of teen volunteers from your area twice a month. Also for group service projects you have the opportunity to spend time with teens from the other clubs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that enjoys volunteering and wants to build bonds with their peers at the same time.

If you are reading this, you may be:
A) a potential new QQ member. Maybe a little scared, or ever-ready to join.
B) already part of QQ and wanting to tell the World Wide Web about how it is impossible to light a QQ candle, or how you can get lost in a mound of pillows. Maybe telling possible new members about the closeness the club feels when we get together for Group Service Projects, or how you wait impatiently for the next club meeting. Or maybe about how it felt to realize that teenagers DO truly care and want to share it with others that DO truly care.
C) a parent wondering how your child found SUCH AN AWESOME CLUB that they want to be apart of.
For person A, QQ is hard and do not let anyone tell you otherwise: it can be draining, demanding, and sometimes feel like your not making a difference.
For person A, QQ is probably the best things you could ever do: it is rewarding, fun, and shows that one helping hand is always helpful, even if you do not always see it.

Quixote Quest was an amazing experience for me in the year and a half I was in it. There is nothing quite like the friends you meet or the impact you really have. You don't just volunteer; you meet a whole community of people just like yourself who want to make a difference. I would recommend this to anybody who is looking to be a part of an outstanding group of people who do great work.
