The Vault in Clinton is still seeking volunteers for a partnership program with Big Brothers Big Sisters of DeWitt County.
Michelle Witzke with The Vault in Clinton explains they need young adults who would be willing to mentor a junior high school or high school student to step up for a couple of hours a month. She says they have a lot of kids that need someone they can look up to and be a role model for them.
According to Witzke, they are very much in need of mentors for junior high and high school boys. She estimates they have around 15 youths ready for a big. Witzke indicates they will be hosting an informational meeting for parents, teens and interested mentors on June 26 from 6 pm to 7 pm at The Vault.
As the summer gets closer, The Vault is also seeking daytime volunteers. She says they have plenty of help in the evening but when they expand their hours during the day, they will need help to the tune of about four hours a week.
Witzke adds at their June 26 meeting, representatives from Big Brothers Big Sisters will be on hand with information and available for questions.
To get more information on becoming a 'big' for a young junior high or high school student or to learn about volunteering during the day at The Vault this summer, you can call 217-934-4003 or 309-212-7332 or email thevaultclinton@gmail.com.
