Just because our 30 MENtors in 30 Days campaign is over, doesn't mean the work stops.➡ The Mentorship gap continues to widen—especially for boys of color.➡ Nationally, one in three kids grows up without a sustained, positive adult mentor and in Flint...that number is closer to one in two.🤝 However, you can help easier than you may think. To become a Big Brother you don't:✅ Need a degree✅ Need special skills or training👬 And guess what...the process to becoming a mentor can be completed in just a couple of weeks. All you need is a little time, a desire to make a difference...and want to have some fun!If this sounds like you, give us a shout and we'll tell you how you can make an impact on the men of tomorrow, by mentoring a Little Brother today!bbbsflint.org/be-a-big/#BiggerTogether #DefendPotential #MentorshipMatters #BigBrothersBigSisters #BeBigger #BeBig ...
