SOL Mentoring

 

I believe in YOU!
Make a difference tomorrow by mentoring TODAY!

The SOL Mentor Program is a Madison Metropolitan School District and Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring initiative set in place to address the issues of Latino children living in Madison. SOL works in conjunction with Bethel Lutheran Church, Dane County's Joining Forces for Families and other non-profit agencies to seek volunteers who become mentors to children living in our community. We are looking for adults who can provide access to community-wide learning opportunities such as special multicultural events and activities, community service and volunteer opportunities. SOL staff will arrange trainings for mentors and plan regular family/mentor gatherings and outings for all to come together as a group and share experiences.

"We've enriched our family that now includes not only a little sis', but her mom, sister, aunt and cousins... and we get to do lots of cool kid stuff too!"

- John & Jacqui Shanda

"Soy un Big Brother porque creo en nunca olvidar quien eres y quien te ayudó a llegar a donde estás." "I'm a Big Brother because I believe in never forgetting who we are and who helped us get to where we are."

- Gerardo Mancilla

"I have seen first hand how my interactions have positively influenced my Little. I have seen him develop many positive attributes. I look forward to the continued mentoring process because of these positive reflections."

- Ron Kreul

The difference that just a little of your time can make in the life of a child is extraordinary. While participating in this program you will realize that the rewards gained are immeasurable. You will discover that today is the most important day in the future of children who smile, share, and will forever be grateful for your genuine interest, commitment and dedication to their lives.

A trip to the strawberry patch is a fun outing you can plan with your "little sister" or "little brother."
