MAKE A BIG RESOLUTION FOR 2018

With 2017 behind us, 2018 brings plenty of new opportunities to help others! Here at Big Brothers Big Sisters, January not only rings in the new year, but also National Mentoring Month.
In 2002, January was declared National Mentoring Month by President George W. Bush to celebrate and raise awareness of the impact of mentoring, and recruit new mentors.
Without your support, none of our mentoring initiatives would be possible. So, in this National Mentoring Month, we want to extend a huge thank you for your continued support toward BBBS! In 2017 we served 675 kids in the Great Lakes Bay Region. That wouldn't be possible without YOU!
We hope you consider taking the next step in 2018 to be a mentor and directly change the life of a child in need!

Check out Shawn Blanchard's TED Talk about mentoring below, and keep scrolling for some exciting new developments from BBBS!
