About Second Mile

Second Mile is a non-profit organization that "provides a field of projects for people to go beyond the ordinary."

"The goal of Second Mile is not to provide a project or a renovation. Our main goal is to engage the heart of the volunteer."
-- David Foley, Executive Director

What an amazing weekend! Over 1,000 volunteers joined us on April 2 and 3 to transform our campus. Our teachers, students and families returned to a campus after spring break that was completely new. Thanks to Ryan Sawyer from 2nd Mile for his amazing video productions and project management throughout this special undertaking.

We Still Need Your Help

Although the physical work complete, we still need your support. With the total project cost over $100,000, a significant funding gap remains. Please donate to help us close our funding gap for the weekend.
