On Common Ground

On Common Ground On Common Ground provides 1:1 adult mentoring to those experiencing poverty in the greater Attleboro

In 2009, Executive Director Pam Bliss opened the doors of On Common Ground based on her award-winning research to demonstrate that matching adults experiencing poverty with a volunteer mentor would help improve their lives. 335 mentee and resource matches later, Pam's belief in the power of human kindness has proven her research to be true. To date, over 1,200 lives have been impacted through the positive outcomes our mentees have achieved in our Mentor Center.

After a decade of building self-reliance through adult mentoring, we are saddened to share the news that we are no longer able to provide this innovative 1:1 mentoring service to the community. It has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of the lives of so many individuals who allowed us to assist them, the lives of those who mentored, as well as the volunteers, employees, board and family members, fellow non-profit agencies, donors, grantors, businesses and the local media who enabled us to provide this life changing program.

As of July 31, 2018, we have officially closed our doors and are referring anyone who may be interested in volunteering in this capacity with children to the Attleboro YMCA or for other opportunities please visit your local town or city website.

Thank you for all of your support over the past 10 years 🌻
