There is a huge need for mentors in our area. If you have some free time
during the weekday you can mentor a child at school. If you
have free time on evenings or weekends you could mentor a child in the
community (regular Big Brother Big Sister role). The commitment is generally
1-2 hours a week most weeks (most meet their Little Brothers/ Sisters 2-4 times a month).
You pick them up and take them to a game, the park, the mall, fishing, build a snow man, etc. It is a lot of fun. You don't
need to be a social worker or teacher or have any experience with kids.
You only need the ability to listen, encourage and have fun. For more information, contact
