Why become a mentor?
Volunteering 7 hours a month can give a young person the opportunity to see beyond their world, dream big, and reach their full potential!
Spending time with your Little can consist of playing video or board games, going to a museum, working on homework, or grabbing a bite to eat. We are always in need of all types of Bigs, but we are especially in need of Big Brothers.
