September 1 marked the beginning of Big Brothers Big Sisters Month! The role that mentors play in the lives of young people is more than simply providing support on the day-to-day. In these seemingly small moments of connection, our Bigs are helping pave the way for positive long-term outcomes.
That’s why all September long, we are going to be celebrating the importance of mentorship and encouraging our community to volunteer, donate, and help spread the word. Big Brothers Big Sisters grows because of caring adults like you investing in children and young adults.
You might not be able to invest the time by being a mentor but YOU can still change a child’s life by supporting matches as a Match Maker.
Match Makers empower the potential of children across Saline County through monthly giving. By making a monthly gift, you will help introduce a waiting Little to their Big each and every month. Match Makers is a special community composed of passionate and inspirational people who want to make a meaningful difference in the future by investing in a Little today.
WHY SHOULD I JOIN MATCH MAKERS?
Children in Saline County need your help! Children in our program face unique challenges like living in a single-parent home, residing in poverty, or struggling academically and/or socially. It’s proven that being matched with a mentor is life-changing! With YOUR support, these children are more likely to follow a positive path that leads them towards a brighter future.
