BBBS Secures Funding for Local Youth Mentoring Programs
Greenville Rotary Club recently awarded Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Shelby & Darke County a grant. The funds received are
earmarked specifically for Darke County afterschool programs held at
Ansonia, Versailles and Privilege Schools during the 2020-2021 academic
year. “The support we receive from Greenville Rotary Club and the
surrounding community is truly a blessing for our agency. It enables us
to continue to serve children in need of a positive role model in the
Darke County area,” stated Executive Director, Jennifer Bruns.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County’s mission is to
create and support one to one mentoring relationships that ignite the
power and promise of youth. Our vision is for all youth to achieve
their full potential. One-to-one mentoring programs provide
support, activities, education, and most importantly, a mentor for
children who may be considered at-risk. Children involved in this
program have the opportunity to engage in fun, social, and academic
enrichment activities with their mentor. Thanks to generous
donations like the one from Greenville Rotary Club, mentor and mentee
matches in the Darke County area continue to grow and help children in
a positive way.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is a non-profit United Way member
agency. If you would like to become enroll a child in the
program, become a donor, or learn how more about how you can defend the
potential of youth in our area, contact our local agency at
