An incredible way to support Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the young people we serve is to start a volunteering incentive program at your business. You can provide them with an hour off during the week to mentor a child, or provide other incentives to encourage your staff to volunteer on their own time. The benefits are many for young people in the community who are in need of a consistent and supportive mentor, but there is significant benefits to businesses and employees as well.
