Big Brothers Big Sisters envisions that
“all children achieve success in life.” Being a school-based mentor can be as simple as playing catch with a student on the play- ground, reading to or with a student, helping a non-English speaker learn to say “Hello!”, helping her work through a math problem, or just taking the time to sit, chat, or listen to music. Community-based mentoring can also involve taking a student to the local library, museum, a children’s movie, or for a walk on the Greenbelt. Providing advice is optional, providing inspiration is mandatory! The main focus is the one-on-one attention; time spent together in a positive, supportive, and nurturing activity. All mentors have an impact in a child’s
life. Volunteer mentors support the growth and development of tomorrow’s adults. It takes a special person to commit to mentor- ing a school-age child, but the rewards are here today and can last forever.
