BBBS Receives Grant from Vectren for After-School Mentoring

To fulfill the increasing need for intervention and prevention services for high-risk youth, Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Shelby and Darke County received a grant for the Big Buddies After-School Mentoring Program. Thanks to community partners such as Vectren, BBBS of Shelby and Darke County is moving forward matching high school students with at-risk youth in grades kindergarten through fourth.

“The Big Buddies After-School Mentoring Program provides support, activities and education as well as high school mentors for children who may be considered at-risk,” said Jennifer Bruns, executive director for BBBS of Shelby and Darke County. “The children involved in this program have the opportunity to engage in fun, social and academic activities through the interaction with their mentors.”

Through the Big Buddies After-School Mentoring Program, high school students meet with area youth two times per month focusing on STEM curriculum.
