Mentoring Matters: Meet A Match
Meet Bruce & Bobby
Little Brother Bruce and Big Brother Bobby have been matched since 2022. They have been named 2025 Big & Little of the Year for Ventura County!
In the time they have been matched, Bruce has experienced many firsts. From frisbee golf to shore fishing. They obtained a library card for Bruce and have sparked his interest in reading. Bruce needed positive male guidance like Bobby, to support positive choices and self-esteem.
Bruce’s mom has expressed seeing a change in Bruce’s overall attitude at home and his efforts in school since matched.
