Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Mississippi Valley has launched a brand new campaign that embodies the essence of our mission and the power of community support called "It Takes Little to Be Big!"
The Message:
Most people feel that they don't have time to be a mentor for fear of letting a child down. We're here to tell you it's OK to have these concerns, but it's far from the reality of our program impact. Even the smallest commitment (1 or 2- 1 hour visits a month) can make a huge impact on a kid's life and future. Our program is flexible and tailored to busy lifestyles and delivers a powerful impact on both the Little and Big.
At its core, this campaign carries a profound message: you don't need to have a prestigious title, an array of degrees, or endless free time to make a monumental impact on a child's life. The smallest commitment can yield tremendous results! Your life experience qualifies you to be a Big to a child in our community. We are setting our sights on engaging 200 new Bigs with a single, powerful concept: "It Takes Little to Be Big."
The Impact:
Nationwide, 1 in 3 kids grow up without a sustained adult mentor in their life. Locally, there are over 200 kids on our waiting list, and that number soars to 30,000 nationwide. This campaign is our call to action!
With "It Takes Little to Be Big," we're not only inspiring change but also inviting you to be part of it! The coming years hold exciting developments, and we can't wait for you to experience it with us. Are you ready to be a part of the biggest mentor movement this community has ever seen?
