While the school year is still relatively new, the Christian County Big Brothers Big Sisters is already looking to start placing children with mentors for the 2011 – 2012 school year.

Vanessa Wiseman of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Illinois Capital Region explains that this is a great way for mentors, including high school students, to help shape and make a positive impact on the life of an elementary school-aged child.
