Becoming a mentor is an important and easy way for an adult to make a difference in a child’s life. And the need is great. There are approximately 14 million young people in America, who without positive intervention are in jeopardy of not reaching a successful adulthood, according to a study by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. The results of having a mentor can also be great. A national study conducted by Public/Private Ventures revealed that children with mentors developed higher levels of self-confidence, had improved relationships with adults and peers and developed more positive attitudes towards school. Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) provides one-to-one mentoring relationships between adult volunteers and children in 460 programs throughout the U.S. This campaign encourages individuals to volunteer for BBBS and share simple, life-changing moments with a child.
