Big Brothers Big Sisters Needs Mentors in Northwest Florida
Over 100 children in Northwest Florida are waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister. If you have ever considered becoming a mentor, now is the time! All it takes in weekly contact with your Little, at a minimum of two times in person per month. Northwest Florida youth are faced with new challenges such as changing family structures, homelessness, bullying, mental health stressors, and low self-esteem that create greater need for positive role models in their lives. A Big Brother or Big Sister does just that for the children who need it the most. Click the link below to get started on the volunteer process.
