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!
The Waiting Littles Wall shines a light on the children right here in Lorain County who are waiting for something simple but powerful: a mentor who will show up, listen, encourage them, and believe in their potential.
Each child featured on the wall represents a young person hoping to be matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister who can help open the door to new experiences, greater confidence, and a brighter future.
We invite you to visit the Waiting Littles Wall, learn more about the children waiting to be matched, and discover how YOU could be the reason one less child is waiting.
