As part of National Mentoring Month, we celebrated National Alumni Week [January 13-17], a time dedicated to recognizing the extraordinary Alumni who continue to make a difference through their time, compassion, and commitment.
Currently, there are more than 120 children waiting to be matched with a mentor. To bring attention to their stories and inspire volunteers, we’re launching our new #TheBIGWait social media campaign. Every Wednesday, we’ll call on our supporters to help by highlighting the urgent need for mentors in specific areas.
