January is Mentoring Month
Every January, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Michigan celebrates National Mentoring Month. Throughout the celebration, we recognize the volunteer mentors (Bigs), volunteers, and supporters who are actively working to positively impact children’s lives in our community. Mentors change our community and world!
Big Brothers Big Sisters’ vision is that all youth achieve their full potential. Our volunteers, supporters, and partners — you, here reading this post — work together to bring this vision to life. You support our work matching children ages 6 and older with caring mentors who ignite their power and promise.
Will you commit to making a bigger difference as a Big? 100+ local youth are ready to be matched. It only takes two hours, twice per month just being you to make a profound impact. Learn more here.
