Description: Big Brothers Big Sisters matches youth facing adversity with a caring mentor. Volunteer and become a mentor today!
Every child is born with potential to succeed. But faced with adversity, the opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives is limited. A mentor empowers them to realize their biggest possible future. To strive for goals they once believed out of their control. To achieve their full potential.
There is a mentoring gap in America. One-third of our nation’s youth are growing up without a positive role model.
More than half the youth we serve live below the poverty line, putting them at greater risk for poor academic achievement and other developmental delays.
