Little boys wait for big brothers

DeKALB – The local Big Brothers Big Sisters program was hoping to get 30 men to volunteer as big brothers in 30 days last November.

BBBS Director Courtney Denison said the “30 Men in 30 Days” initiative drew nine male volunteers – not enough to mentor the 30 boys on the waiting list.

“Instead of asking for money around Christmas, we’re asking for the commitment of time to a child,” Denison said.
