Review for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Heart of Georgia, Inc., Macon, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Heart of Georgia has grown so much to help so many more kids in Central Georgia. They recruit thousands of volunteers each year to mentor kids and support them for higher achievement of the children. And the kids and volunteers love it. Kids are staying in school, avoiding risky behaviors, and getting along better with friends and family.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

how the children have benefitted from having mentors. They get better grades, have better behavior, go to school more often, and have higher aspirations. The agency has grown exponentially in the number of children served, and in the quality of the services.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

encourage the community to support the agency with donations to help continue serving the kids. I would also urge the board members to lead this endeavor.
