Did you know over 100 local kids are on the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lorain County waiting list to meet their mentor. All they want is another caring adult in their life to help them discover and ignite their potential. You don’t have to have any special qualifications to be a mentor – other than being compassionate, patient, and affirming. Mentorship sounds huge, but the truth is, it takes little to be big. A little time, a little encouragement, and a laugh or two over a slice of pizza. It’s the million little moments that make the difference. Maybe for you it was a coach, or a teacher. For our kids, maybe it’s YOU!
Join the mentoring movement.
It takes little to be big!
