Big Brothers Big
Sisters is asking for
caring individuals to
consider becoming a
Big Brother to one of
the 16 boys currently
hoping for a special
friend in their life.
After a screening and
training process, a volunteer
can share fun
activities with a young person and
be a kid again.
There are so many children in
our program that would appreciate
and benefit from a one-to- one
friendship and the opportunity to
experience new adventures.
Even though each of the children
is special with their own unique personality
and interests, they have the
same wish – to have a Big Brother or
Big Sister. Do you have a Little time
for a ‘Little?’ Think BIG for your
New Year’s Resolution. Consider
becoming a mentor.
Special thanks to all of our mentors
and our community volunteers
who help us out
during the year. The
first semester, 32 teen
In-school mentors
from Correlieu were
matched with students
at Voyageur elementary
school. Both high
school and elementary
students greatly
benefited from the
experience. The teen mentors met
with their mentees for 12 weeks,
volunteering a total of 427.5 hours!
A new group of teen In-school mentors
will be trained, screened and
ready to be matched after Spring
Break.
Mark your calendar! BBBSQ Annual
Bowl for Kids Sake will held
at Rev Bowling Lanes on Friday,
April 28 staring at 4:30 p.m. For
