Youth mentorship program available
BBBS requires a minimum of four hours a month from volunteer mentors.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Central Ohio will present Ask a Big at the Main Library of the Tuscarawas County Public Library System July 18 at 6:30 p.m.
The program will be a frequently-asked-question session for those interested in becoming a mentor to area youth. BBBS requires a minimum of four hours a month from volunteer mentors, which can be done through their community or school-based programs.
The mentorship program through Big Brothers Big Sisters provides guidance, wisdom, encouragement, and support to assist mentees in accomplishing their goals and achieving their full potential.
A current mentor and staff member from BBBS will be on hand to answer questions about services and programs provided to youth in Tuscarawas, Carroll and Harrison counties. They will discuss camp opportunities, individual assistance and resource connections.
Those interested in volunteering or becoming mentors with BBBS are encouraged to attend. The time commitment is not large, but it makes a world of difference to the child served by the program.
Registration for this program is required. Register online at www.tusclibrary.org or by calling 330-364-4474.
The county’s Main Library is located at 121 Fair Ave. NW in New Philadelphia.
