Share a Little Magic - Big Brother Big Sister Month


	WHAT IS IN-SCHOOL MENTORING? It’s a small commitment that makes a big difference. Become a mentor to a child in a school environment. You’ll help build a child’s self-esteem and school performance while having a lot of fun. And it only takes one hour a week during the school year. One child. One hour a week. One big reason to go back to school. WHO PARTICIPATES IN THE PROGRAM? * Children, usually ages 6 to 16 * Caring and responsible volunteers aged 19 and over * Community schools who support the ISM program * Companies supporting employee volunteerism with flexible work schedules and/or program sponsorship WHAT SHARING A LITTLE MAGIC CAN DO Children who spend time with a mentor gain confidence, acquire new skills and competencies, and develop an enhanced capacity to care for others. Mentors experience a sense of discovery and enjoyment as they see the world of possibility open up through a child’s eye. WHAT DOES A MENTOR DO? Besides playing with plasticine or painting during the workday, you’ll be a role model to one student. Through friendship, guidance and sharing, you’ll help build a child’s self-esteem.
