Urgent need for Big Brothers in the Battlefords
It’s been an interesting month for the Battlefords Branch of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) with the organization experiencing both positives and negatives when it comes to mentorship.
The good news is by the end of November all the little sisters who applied for mentors will be matched, which program coordinator Renee Sperling said she is excited about.
“It’s certainly a nice feeling to have all the little sisters matched,” she said. “Normally we have always had more big sisters coming in but over the last few months it seemed like every application that came in was for a little sister.”
Unfortunately, the number of applications to become a big brother stalled.
