Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Henderson looking for more volunteers

Posted: Updated:

Tuesday, Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Henderson asks for your help mentoring youth in the county.

Program Director Greg Gibson tells 14 News, right now, the organization has more than 40 children on their waiting list and about 30 'bigs' or adults wanting to help out.

Gibson says it's important to match the 'bigs' and 'littles' according to interests and demographic, and right now, they're especially seeking African American men to be big brothers.

"We have had some little boys specifically who have asked for an African American volunteer. Quality time, one on one time with a caring, compassionate person that really really cares for that child. You can't beat that," Gibson says.

Gibson says, there will be a bowling night in March to raise money for the organization.
