Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County is asking for help from community members to provide mentors for children in its program, according to a report from The Capital Times. The organization recently announced there is a list of over 400 kids waiting to be matched with a mentor.
To be matched with a child, mentors must be at least 18 years old, commit to a minimum of one year in the program, and meet with their “little” anywhere between two to four times a month for one to three hours.
Other requirements include completing an online application with references, interviewing with the organization, and passing a background check. Mentors also must have a valid driver’s license, auto insurance, and a reliable car for transporting the mentee.
