Changing Lives for the Better

Big Brothers Big Sisters seeks to change the lives of children for the better. Mentors work with children in the community, in their schools, and several places in between.

There are so many ways to get started, too. Get involved with:

• School-based programs
• Community-based programs
• Amachi Ohio
• Virtual Mentoring
• Pen Pals

Today, more than ever, children need a way to connect with their mentors in a pandemic world. Pen Pals is a great way to connect with kids in a fun, old-fashioned manner. Share facts about yourself, what you like to do, and create a lasting friendship with a child.

Virtual Mentoring can include playing cards, watching movies, and listening to music while remaining safe and socially distant in the process. Give a little something back by becoming part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Zanesville family.

Join in the Big Day of Giving on November 20
