BF-LF seeks youth & adults

A request has been made for adult mentors and youth matches in the Irene/ Wakonda area. Adult volunteers must be 18 years old, and will be background checked prior to matches. Youth that would like to sign up should be between 5-17 years old, and matches strive to spend two hours per week with their mentors.

Big Friends-Little Friends is a non profit organization whose mission is to match youth in Clay and Union counties. Adult volunteers from neighboring counties may sign up for a match in this area as well.

The program's Web site features an e-mail form of the applications, and it is available at http://www.bflfmentoring.org.

Click on the volunteer header, scroll to the bottom, and both adult and youth applications may be downloaded and printed out, or emailed to jgille@iw.net.

For more details on being a mentor, call John Gille, program director, at 1-605-356-2571 or cell 1-605-421-5050. Mentoring helps everyone involved, so consider signing up a youth, or being a volunteer today.
