Right now, our thousands of young people are facing even more adversities in their lives.
Good News! Relationship building with a trusted adult is still one of the best ways to support that young person. Our volunteer mentors are connecting with their mentees – also called Little Brothers and Little Sisters. Mentors maintain positive relationships during these challenging times, so children develop the skills and resilience to navigate those challenges. When you donate to Big Brothers Big Sisters, you are investing in mentoring as an essential service. With your support, we can continue to train volunteer mentors to provide to youth the opportunity to reach their full potential. Thank you!
An easy way to contribute to this important service is to host a birthday party or other celebration and have your friends and family pitch in. Check out EchoAge today and start planning today.
