During National Volunteer Month, April 2012, Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County is excited to be kicking off a campaign to recruit '30 MEN in 30 DAYS' from throughout McHenry County to volunteer to become Big Brother mentors.

When it Comes to Men...There’s a Void
More than 70% of the children waiting for mentors through Big Brothers Big Sisters are boys, but only three out of ten interested volunteers are male.

There are Boys Who Need YOU Now!
There are currently 29 boys on our waiting list. These are boys whose parents/caregivers signed them up for a mentor because they understand the benefits of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. These boys are eagerly waiting for a call from us, telling them that we have found a Big Brother. Some have been waiting for over a year!

From April 1st to April 30th we will be partnering with individuals, organizations, and businesses to achieve this goal – giving 30 more boys (or more!) a better chance for a better future!
