Battlefords needs more Big Brothers
There’s a long waiting list of Little Brothers and not enough Bigs to match with them.
Renee Sperling, who operates the Battlefords Big Brothers and Big Sisters, is asking for more males to volunteer and promises to be flexible.
“We will work around the Big’s schedule. We want a consistent amount of time. For some people that’s a couple of hours a week, for others it’s a larger chunk every two weeks.”
Sperling felt the main reason more people don’t volunteer is intimidation of the process but she said they shouldn’t be as the process is quite straight forward.
