Big Brothers Big Sisters month shines light on group’s value
NANAIMO — A non-profit group tasked with steering thousands of Nanaimo area kids on the right path will enjoy a little extra attention this month.
Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) is being recognized nationally in Sept., including locally where its flag is flapping for the month atop City Hall.
Jennifer Kemp, BBBS Central Vancouver Island executive director, told NanaimoNewsNOW their organization provides critical mentorship to hundreds of kids annually from Ladysmith to the Oceanside region.
Kemp said the value their mentors supply to vulnerable children is immeasurable.
