Save the Date! Join us for our Real Men Mentor net Save the Date! Join us for our Real Men Mentor networking event on Tuesday, November 30th at the Raccoon Motel in Downtown Davenport for pizza, drinks, and great conversation! More than two-thirds of children waiting for a mentor are boys requesting a positive, caring male role model. Studies show that the lack of a male figure in a boy's life increases the likelihood of performing poorly in school or getting involved in crime. Every boy is born with the potential to achieve great things. Our mentors ignite, inspire, and defend that potential. To RSVP click the link in our bio. #RealMenMentor #BBBSMV

As the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”), ages 6 through 18, in communities across the country. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.
