Introducing the Pal Program, Virtual Mentoring
Our kids need us now more than ever. When the COVID-19 pandemic further isolated vulnerable young people, Big Brothers Big Sisters continued to be an essential service in our local communities. We immediately introduced virtual mentoring through the PAL Program. Virtual mentoring has enabled us to provide young people with a caring mentor and friend, especially when needed most.
The PAL Program offers 1:1 mentoring remotely, helping to ensure that the immediate social and mental health needs of vulnerable young people in our communities continue to be addressed during the pandemic and beyond. The PAL Program requires a minimum weekly voluntary commitment of 1-hour.
