California Launches Men's Service Challenge to Recruit 10,000 Mentors
California Governor Gavin Newsom has launched the California Men's Service Challenge, aiming to recruit 10,000 mentors. The initiative, backed by a $5 million commitment, seeks to positively impact young lives across the state. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central California is at the forefront of this challenge, urging local volunteers to step up.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central California, a non-profit organisation, offers a holistic approach to guiding children towards positive pathways. They currently have 140 children waiting to be paired with mentors in the Central Valley alone, with thousands more statewide, mostly boys. The organisation encourages interested volunteers to reach out to their local offices to make a difference.
The time commitment for a mentor, known as a 'Big Brother' or 'Big Sister', is approximately 2 hours per month. This can significantly impact a child's life, as seen in the case of Michael Johnson and his mentor, Sgt. Erik Ia. Despite the current lack of specific information about available mentors, the organisation welcomes inquiries from potential volunteers.
The California Men's Service Challenge, supported by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central California, is a call to action for the Central Valley community. With a $5 million commitment and a clear need for mentors, the organisation urges locals to step up and make a difference in the lives of children in need. Diane Phakonekham, President & CEO, encourages everyone to support the organisation and help shape the future of Central California's youth.
