A Message From Jim Henry
My name is Jim and I have been involved with BBBS since 2007 when I started volunteering as a Big Brother (Mentor). I started volunteering when my little brother was 8. I helped mentor him all the way until he graduated the program at 18 and we continue to see each other regularly even to this day.
He went on to graduate from Howell High School and attended University of Maryland College Park. He graduated with over a 3.0 GPA and is employed full time in sales while he is considering possibly applying to law schools.
Anything you can do to donate and help support the organization is appreciated as it helps support underprivileged youth! The BBBS organization has the statistics to prove it makes a difference with kids who are often from single parent households.
