Why Mentoring Matters
Why
Mentoring
Matters
"If you think back on your life, you had an ecosystem of mentors who each gave you something and left something with you. Mentorship, no matter where it comes from, helps a young person to expand, to explore, to see other things and different backgrounds.”
- Artis Stevens
President & CEO, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America
“If you think back on your
life, you had an ecosystem
of mentors who each gave
you something and left something with you. Mentorship, no matter where it comes from, helps a young person to expand, to explore, to see other things and different backgrounds.”
BE A MENTOR
By being a Big (a volunteer mentor), you can help shape a young person’s future for the better by empowering them to achieve their individual goals.
The best part is the fun! You and your little can share the kinds of activities you already like to do and explore new opportunities together.
It Takes Little to Be Big!
