We are in desperate need of Community and School Based mentors in Fayette and Westmoreland Counties to help our youth facing adversity to reach their full potential.
For School Based mentoring, the mentor "Big" would go into their youth's "Little's" elementary school weekly or bi-weekly during their Little's lunch. They could play games with them, help them with their reading skills, or just be someone they can talk to. (We are currently in Laurel Highlands, Greensburg, Norwin, Uniontown, Latrobe and Connellsville elementary schools.)
For Community Based mentoring, the Big would take their Little out into the community at least twice a month to do something they both love (guardian approved). We often have free activities and tickets to provide for the matches.
Many Bigs say that the rewards they gain from volunteering with our programs are just as substantial as the ones gained by their Littles.
**You don't have to show them everything. You just have to show up.**
Please call 724-837-6198, email mentor@BBBSLR.org, or visit our website at www.BBBSLR.org for more information.
