The Vault, Big Brothers Big Sisters Ready To Start New Mentorship Program

Big Brothers and Big Sisters earlier this week held a special event to bring in potential volunteers and youth that need mentors in an effort to see what kind of interest there was in a new program between the two DeWitt County entities.

 

Heather Peavler with Big Brothers Big Sisters on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday indicates their Wednesday event laid the foundation for likely three matches between young adults and Clinton teens.

 

 

Peavler explains The Vault targets teens of the community so this program they are starting is a little different than their well-known school-based and community-based programs. She says it's a different type of mentorship.

 

 

The Vault will largely serve as the meeting place for the matches and Peavler hopes the bond developed between them will get other youths interested in being a part of the program.

 

 

Peavler indicates their Wednesday event ended up in having more volunteers to be mentors than youths to match them with so they are still seeking more kids to get involved. To get more information, contact Peavler and h.peavler@bbbscil.org or you can call 217-935-1234.
