The Children’s Services Council of Martin County Views Mentoring Kids Vital to Success in School and Life!

For twenty years Children’s Services Council of Martin County has funded quality mentoring for local kids through the Big Brothers Big Sisters programs. The Children’s Services Council of Martin County has provided the resources for hundreds of kids to take part in the “Start Something” and “School to Work” mentoring programs.

“Start Something” program is community-based mentoring that pairs kids with a caring adult who provides friendship and positive experiences to support children and youth in learning and developing new skills for a brighter future.

“School to Work” is a unique mentoring program that integrates one-to-one mentoring, career exploration, and life skills development to inspire high school-aged youth to set goals and make plans for their future beyond school.

Each program is proudly supported by the Children’s Services Council of Martin County who believes in community investment for local youth. Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs encourage academic engagement, positive lifestyle choices, and introduce Martin County kids to caring adults from diverse backgrounds. Because of this ongoing support, local kids are reaching their brightest potential.
