GREENVILLE – The Rotary Club of Greenville recently awarded a grant to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County.
Funds received will be used for Darke County after-school programs held in Ansonia, Versailles, Greenville and Tri-Village during the 2021-2022 school year.
“Greenville Rotary has been a tremendous support system not only for the Big Brothers Big Sisters agency, but also for many other agencies in the community. This civic club plays an important role in the success of our agencies and we are very grateful for it, ”said Jennifer Bruns, Executive Director.
The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County is to create and sustain one-on-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. Our vision is that all young people realize their full potential. One-on-one mentoring programs provide support, activities, education, and most importantly, a mentor for children who may be considered at risk. Children involved in this program have the opportunity to participate in fun, social and academic enrichment activities with their mentor. Thanks to generous donations like that of the Rotary Club of Greenville, the mentor and mentee matches in the Darke County area continue to grow and help children in a positive way.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is a non-profit member organization of Centraide. If you would like to enroll a child in the program, become a donor, or find out more about how you can advocate for the potential of young people in our area, contact our local office at 937-492-7611, 937-547-9622, or visit see www.bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org for more information.
