Appearing on COMMUNITY CONNECTION, Charlene Dew, Big Brothers/Big Sisters Bartlesville Area Director, and Mitch Tate, Resource Board Chair, talked to us about being a mentor and the upcoming Bowling for Kid's Sake event.
 
Mitch Tate told the audience that as the nation’s largest donor and volunteer-supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oklahoma matches volunteer mentors (Bigs) with children (Littles) who need help with self-esteem, decision-making, and other areas of life.
 
Charlene reminded would-be Bigs that having the capacity to be a friend and having a heart for children are the first things you need become a Big to a Little. Everyone that matches will enjoy activities within the community like going to the park, eating lunch or catching a movie. It's that easy.
