This fundraiser will not only benefit the local agency, but will allow
people to find the perfect gift for family, friends, neighbors,
co-workers, and any other special person on your list.
“Funding is used for recruiting, careful matching, background checks,
screening and maintaining on-going professional support for the
volunteers, youth, and their families – the key to ensuring long-term
positive outcomes that change lives and communities.”
The goal is that each match will develop into a quality relationship
meant to guide each child towards becoming a confident, competent, and
caring individual. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer is
invited to call the office at 547-9622 or 492-7611.
“There’s a growing demand for structured successful youth mentoring,
particularly in this economy when families are struggling,” Lisa Brown,
Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke
Counties, said. “Independent research shows children matched with Big
Brothers Big Sisters mentors are more confident, more likely to succeed
in school, and avoid drug and alcohol abuse and other negative
influences.”
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke Counties is a non-profit,
United Way member service organization, providing positive adult role
models to children facing adversity.
