BBBS “Big
Buddies” After School Program ends with Smiles!
The Big Brothers Big Sisters High School mentoring program concluded
2013/14 “Big Buddies” after-school program. Each site celebrated
with ice cream/cookie parties, games and crafts.
The program pairs high school sophomores, juniors and seniors with
local youth and the “matches” meet twice a month throughout the school
year. The High School “Buddies” work together with their
“Littles” on activities that focus on educational and social
enhancement, as well as personal safety. All activities are
planned and supervised by the Big Brothers Big Sisters staff.
The locations for the 2013/14 Darke County Big Buddies program included
sites in Greenville at Woodland Heights Elementary, and Versailles
Elementary. The Locations for Shelby County Big Buddies program
includes sites at Longfellow, Whittier, and Northwood Elementary
Schools all located in Sidney.
Big Brother Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County is a nonprofit
United Way agency and an affiliate organization of Big Brothers Big
Sisters of America.
Any high school student interested in becoming a mentor for the
2014-2015 school year should call the office at 492-7611 or
547-9622. The agency is also still in need of local adult
volunteer mentors as well. If you have a couple of hours to spare
two times a month we have volunteer opportunities for you.
