Adult mentors sought
for local children
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth County is looking for adults and married couples to become volunteer mentors to local children.

Mentors are asked to make a commitment to spend time with a child, either weekly or biweekly, for at least one year. Each adult/child match is assigned to a BBBS staff person who offers support throughout the year.
