During September, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks is joining the nationwide celebration of Big Brothers Big Sisters Month, and they are calling on the 417 community to get involved by becoming a Big or contributing to their mission of empowering youth through mentorship.
As part of the month-long celebration, BBBS of the Ozarks is raising awareness about the life-changing impact that mentorship has on the social, emotional and mental well-being of children. A strong mentor can transform a child’s future by offering guidance, support and encouragement, which helps build confidence and resilience in today’s youth.
The organization is also encouraging people to join their 1000Strong Club, a community of donors who pledge $5 per month to support the life-changing work of matching children with mentors in the Ozarks.
“We’re excited to celebrate Big Brothers Big Sisters Month and share the many ways our community can make a BIG difference," said Susan Mellentine, CEO of BBBS of the Ozarks. "Whether you’re stepping up as a Big or making a monthly donation, your involvement helps us continue providing vital mentorship for the children who need it most."
To culminate the celebration, BBBS of the Ozarks will host their annual signature event, Taste of the Ozarks, on November 7, an exclusive gala featuring incredible food, live entertainment and exciting ways to support youth mentorship. It’s the perfect opportunity to gather as a community and help shape brighter futures for local kids. For more information visit www.tasteoftheozarks.com
