“Big Buddies” After
School Program ends with Smiles!
The Big Brothers Big Sisters High School mentoring program concluded
2016/17 “Big Buddies” after-school program. Each site celebrated
with snacks, games and crafts.
The program pairs high school freshman, 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 2016/17 Darke County Big Buddies program included
sites in Greenville Elementary, Ansonia Elementary, and Versailles
Elementary. The Locations for Shelby County Big Buddies program
includes sites at Emerson, 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
2017-2018 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.
