Big Brothers Big Sisters: Setting Kids Up For Success
On Saturday, February 19th, attorneys David Daggett and Griff Shuler of Daggett Shuler Law appeared on Triad Today to talk about Big Brothers Big Sisters and the amazing impact the organization has had on the Triad. Joining them was the President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters, Shawan Gabriel. Watch the segment:
Big Brothers Big Sisters is a nationwide organization that pairs adults (“big siblings”) with children (“little siblings”) to forge long-term relationships. Their mission is to ignite the potential within all children, and they do so by fostering mentoring relationships which help kids see the value in themselves and their contributions to society. These lasting bonds help increase kids’ self-esteem and helps them do better academically, and leave a positive impact on both the “Big,” the “Little,” and the entire community.
Kids aren’t the only ones who benefit from the match-ups, though. It can be extremely rewarding for the “Bigs” to give back to the next generation by teaching them about life and how to stay on the right path and make good choices. Big Brothers Big Sisters is always looking for volunteers to guide young people, and signing up is easy. You can do so here.
