As a new school year starts, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Minnesota has more than 120 “littles” waiting for a mentor, and the number will probably grow as classes get back in session.

Of the “littles” on the waitlist, 10 have been waiting more than 2 years to find a mentor. On average, boys wait about 10 months to find a mentor while girls wait about 7 months.

The campaign kickoff is Tuesday, August 1st, at Iron Creek Distillery in St. Cloud from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm. Current “bigs” and other staff will be available to answer any questions about becoming a mentor.
