Big Brothers Big Sisters
The 12 for Life program seeks to help those on the verge of making a very serious decision about whether to stay in school. But, many factors affecting that decision – collapse of the family, neglect, financial problems and many other issues – arise much earlier in life.
Big Brothers Big Sisters matches children ages 6 through 18 with mentors in professionally supported, one-to-one relationships. Those relationships have a direct and valuable impact on children’s lives. Realizing the impact these relationships can have, Southwire recently funded a study by Big Brothers Big Sisters to determine the feasibility of creating a chapter in Carroll County.
