Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada is kicking off the "Bigs in Schools" mentoring program in Douglas County.
You can help by mentoring students at Carson Valley Middle School and Pau-Wa-Lu Middle School.
Come volunteer once a week for only an hour, right at the school, either at lunchtime or after school. It is fun and easy to be a Big Brother or Big Sister.
Adults and high school students both make excellent candidates "Bigs." You can change the life of a local child while being "an undercover kid" yourself!
The facts show that having a mentor improves school attitude, performance, lowers the involvement of drugs, gangs and violence. Having a mentor really can make a huge impact. Little Moments, Big Magic.
