Every child deserves someone in their corner. Right now, hundreds of kids in Kansas City are waiting for a mentor. That’s why we are launching 60 Bigs in 60 minutes on September 29th —a community challenge to recruit 60 new mentors in just one big power hour!
Why This Matters
Mentorship changes lives.
-
Littles in BBBSKC are 20% more likely to attend college.
-
Littles report a 71% increase in self-esteem.
-
But most importantly — they know someone believes in them.
By stepping up as a Big, you’ll provide the support, encouragement, and friendship a child needs to reach their full potential.
The Challenge
We want to recruit 60 Bigs in 60 minutes!
This isn’t just about hitting a number—it’s about giving 60 kids the mentors they’ve been waiting for. With your help, we can make sure more children grow up with someone cheering them on.
Who Can Be a Big?
Being a Big doesn’t take perfection—it just takes showing up. You don’t need special skills or experience, just the willingness to be a consistent, positive influence in a child’s life.
