We have been matching young people with caring, adult mentors for 88 years. Our mission is to enrich the lives of young people through one-to-on friendships. Mentoring a young person is one of the most rewarding things that we can do to make our communities stronger by giving our kids positive reinforcement and helping them grow into more engaged citizens. All it takes is getting together with a Little Brother or Sister to do things you both enjoy. The young people in BBBS’ programs don’t care what you do; they just want to have fun and maybe learn a thing or two from a consistent, caring adult. | | | Children's Home Society & Family Services - M & M Mentor
