Meeting of May 19: The speaker was Matt McDowell of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Greater Miami Valley. For more than 100 years Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation's largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, the organization makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers and children, ages 6 to 18, in communities across the country. Positive relationships are developed that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.. The Greater Miami Valley affiliate began in 1960 and serves over 450 youths in one-to-one matches. Their biggest need is more volunteer mentors, since they currently have a waiting list of over 100 kids that are in need of a mentor. |
