Mentors help kids gain confidence through BBBS program
Angela Bordewick mentors 10-year-old Spring Valadez as part of Big Brothers Big Sisters. The six month partnership focuses on confidence and social skills. Finney County United Way funds BBBS, but 2016 allocation fell short, forcing more fundraising and stretching staff resources. 47 children wait for mentors while volunteers are urged to join and donate to the United Way.
