Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Virginia (BBBS) celebrates National Mentoring Month with Big For A Day. This week, children on the BBBS waitlist between the ages of 9-12 will have the privilege of spending two hours with a prominent community leader from Roanoke, New River Valley or Pulaski County.
These leaders will spend time getting to know their Little, sharing their personal story, and showing them the ins and outs of their careers. This is an impactful strategy for Littles to see the value of education and their endless potential.
