Big Brothers seeks male volunteers
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh needs volunteer male mentors to be professionally matched with youth who are on a waiting list of Little Brothers for the agency’s traditional one-to-one mentoring program.
There is always a need for male volunteers, over the age of 21, to spend time – catching ball, grabbing a meal or just hanging out – with an at-risk youth, said Jan Glick, CEO of BBBS of Greater Pittsburgh, which serves Allegheny, Greene and Washington counties.
Research has shown that positive relationships have a direct impact on a child’s grades, self-esteem, goals and attitude toward school and family.
To learn more about mentoring and the matching process, call Abbe Hulcher at 724-228-9195.
