January is National Mentoring Month and we are excited to share daily stories about our Bigs and Littles. Each day in January, you’ll see a story about a match—it could be a new match or a long-term one, it might be a Big Brother or Big Sister you know or one who lives miles away. We hope enjoy seeing the faces and hearing the impact mentoring makes in their lives.
Meet Big Sister Kim Butterfield and Little Sister Jayda
Kim & Jayda were matched in March 2018, and meet each week during Jayda’s lunchtime at her school in Newport. Kim says, “We have grown to be very close friends over the past couple of years! We enjoy playing games, doing crafts and reading together. Every week, I look forward to seeing her face light up when I enter the lunch room, to pick her up for our time together.”
Jayda, who is nine years old now, was a little shy when she met her Big Sister. That shyness has faded away and Kim is thrilled because one of the things she hoped to accomplish as a Big Sister was to help her Little Sister “come out of her shell.” The photos are 1) the day the met and 2) just recently.
Kim decided to become a Big Sister after hearing about Big Brothers Big Sisters during a Lunch & Learn at P.L. Marketing, where she works. (Thanks PL for being such an amazing partner!) Lunch & Learns are a great way to introduce the agency to groups of people—our recruitment coordinator would love the opportunity to talk with more companies. Please contact Debbie Mollette at mollette@bigsforkids.org. We serve 13 counties in Ohio, Indiana and Northern Kentucky and appreciate the chance to spread the word out our need for volunteers!
Our thanks to Kim and Jayda for being part of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati. Together, We Are Defenders of Potential. #CincyBigs #BiggerTogether
