Big Brothers Big Sisters

Amy Roldan from the Erie County Big Brothers Big Sisters organization was our speaker on September 9th. Just a few of the points Amy made during the presentation are as follows:

Researchers found that after 18 months of spending time with their Bigs, the Little Brothers and Little Sisters were:
46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
27% less likely to begin using alcohol
52% less likely to skip school
37% less likely to skip a class
more confident of their performance in schoolwork
one-third less likely to hit someone
getting along better with their families

Mentoring our youth has a high impact on the community as a whole.
