Mentoring is an important way to give youth experience with these essential back-and-forth relationships, developing them into healthy young people better able to deal with and overcome life’s adversities. The BBBS Care Kit Program encourages corporate and group volunteer groups and donors to pack essential “care kits” for the individuals that we support.
