How YOUR gift will change a child’s life:

You might not be able to invest the time by being a mentor but YOU can still change a child’s life! YOUR gift will match an at-risk child with a professionally screened and evaluated adult mentor. By simply introducing an adult mentor into the life of a child, they are more likely to achieve:

Higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships

Educational success

Avoidance of risky behaviors

These professionally created and supported friendships make a true impact in the lives of Bigs, Littles, families and the entire community!

YOU can change the future for children in southwest Missouri.
