Did You Know?

Did you know that dozens of foster youth leave the Clark County child welfare system as adults at 18 without permanent families to guide them toward independence? Do you remember that age and how much support your family members or other caring adults were to you?  Now imagine having to do it all on your own without a committed adult to offer moral support.  This is the fate of approximately 100 youth who exit foster care each year.  Are you willing to help make a difference in a young person’s future during this critical phase?

If so, then please join others interested in volunteering a few hours a month to these teens by visiting the Government Center Pyramid on Saturday, April 28th between 10:00a.m.  to 1:00p.m.  This recruitment for volunteers will be held in conjunction with a job fair event for foster teens for the same date and time. Please visit the Mentor Matching booths for information on how to become involved.

If you are unable to attend the recruitment but are still interested in mentoring, then please contact Ted Flaum at Big Brothers/Big Sisters 731-2227 X422 or email him at tflaum@bbbsn.org.
