Mentoring Spotlight: Big Brothers, Big Sisters

bigbrother

Mentoring is a simple way to make a formative impact on a child. This month, we are spotlighting various mentoring organizations in order to encourage everyone to share their knowledge and love to instill Dignity & Respect in the next generation.

This week, we are showcasing Big Brothers, Big Sisters. For more than 100 years, this organizations has matched children to mentors that have encouraged their charges to grow and thrive:

“Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is one of the most enjoyable things you’ll ever do. Not to mention, one of the most fulfilling. You have the opportunity to help shape a child’s future for the better by empowering him or her to achieve. And the best part is, it’s actually a lot of fun. You and your Little can share the kinds of activities you already like to do.

Play sports together. Go on a hike. Read books. Eat a pizza with extra anchovies. Or just give some advice and inspiration. Whatever it is you enjoy, odds are you’ll enjoy it even more with your Little—and you’ll be making a life-changing impact.”
