January is National Mentoring Month

We'll be celebrating by announcing our Big Brother and Big Sister of the Year, and by thanking the 2,000+ mentors who are making the Tampa Bay area a stronger community. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter throughout January for feel-good stories about the difference that mentoring is making.

If you're a Big, click here to read about ways that you can celebrate National Mentoring Month with your Little.
If you're NOT a Big, now is a great time to Start Something by volunteering, donating or advocating.

Start Something by volunteering. We're looking for committed and dedicated men, women and couples who want to make a difference in the life of a child (Little). Volunteers (Bigs) spend a few hours a month doing simple things with their Little: going to the library, enjoying a ball game, or just hanging out and we encourage Bigs to stay matched at least for one year. For more information call (813) 769-3630 or e-mail tampabay.info@bbbsfl.org.

Start Something by making a donation. Your donation will allow us to serve more children by pairing them with a trained and screened mentor. Your gift is tax-deductible--and your company may match your gift, too. Cick here for more information.

Start Something by becoming an advocate. Share the story of Big Brothers Big Sisters with others and encourage them to Start Something too!

Teaching a Child to Fish...

Big Brother Mike took his Little Brother Aikeem out fishing and while these huge fish certainly earn them bragging rights, the pair was even more proud to report that Aikeem brought a great report card home--"As and Bs, with just one C!"
