Big Brothers Big Sister of Butler County is launching an ambitious new campaign, "Erase the Wait," to recruit volunteers to be matched with the Butler County youth who are waiting to be paired with their Big Brother/Sister. With 139 youth currently waiting for a mentor, and more being referred to the program daily, BBBS of Butler County is challenging ourselves, and the community to sign up and serve as mentors to local youth.
BBBS is excited to announce a new national partnership with Crisis Text Line to help spread mental health awareness and support young people in their time of need. Crisis Text Line is a nonprofit organization that provides free, 24/7, confidential text-based mental health support in both English and Spanish.
