DEFENDERS OF POTENTIAL
“If you think back on your life, you had an ecosystem of mentors who each gave you something and left something with you. Mentorship, no matter where it comes from, helps a young person to expand, to explore, to see other things and different backgrounds.”
-Artis Stevens
President & CEO, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America
Why Mentoring Matters

BE A MENTOR
Being a big (A volunteer youth mentor). You can help shape a young person’s future for the better by empowering them to achieve their individual goals. And the best part is, it’s a lot of fun. You and your little can share the kinds of activities you already like to do and explore new opportunities together.
