The Darnell Jackson Mentoring Challenge with Adcom

The Challenge

Over 300 young men have already applied to receive a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cleveland, Ohio and we do not have mentors to serve them. Our goal is to get at least 100 mentors through their challenge.

The facts are clear – there are over 20,000 female-headed households in our area. If the young men of these households don't have a good mentor now, the chances of these boys ending up in difficult situations later in life increases.

You can help to stop the cycle.

• 87% of boys with good mentors graduate from high school
• 70% of boys without a mentor end up in trouble

Big Brothers Big Sisters needs to raise $100,000 to support and grow the 100 mentor/child matches. Every donation, no matter the amount, can help so much!

You just need a good heart, an ability to connect, listen and to give the best feedback you can. In the end, it's about two people coming together to grow in a whole new and special way.
