Mentorship Matters This Month | Lexington News

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana is urgently calling for adult volunteers this month to support over 500 kids in the Louisville area and Southern Indiana waiting for a mentor. With powerful stats—98% of last year’s high school seniors graduated on time, 91% saw improved grades, and 90% reported better mental stability—this program proves mentorship isn’t just helpful, it’s transformative. CEO Gary Friedman emphasizes that you don’t need to be a superhero; just showing up and building genuine connections matters. The long-term payoff? Mentored youth are more likely to attend college and earn 15% more over their careers. This month, they’re lighting landmarks green on Sept. 18 and updating their mission to spotlight youth potential through mentoring. Ready to make a difference? Visit their website.
