Big Brothers Big Sisters - A Little in Need 3y131r
In 1904, a court clerk named Ernest Coulter saw thousands of kids who kept
getting into trouble with
volunteers (Bigs) with kids and teens (Littles) who need a
caring adult and friend in their lives. Studies have shown that Big Brothers Big Sisters' one-to-one mentoring helps kids be more confident,
get better grades in school and get along better with friends and family. BBBS currently helps more than 225,000 children, but hopes to serve
one million by 2010!
