Big Brothers Big Sisters Lanark County continues its work in our listening area, as well as parts of Leeds County.
Executive Director Jennifer Miller says the shutdown of the group’s Leeds and Grenville office caught many by surprise, with operations there expected to wind down by Christmas.
Miller says her team helps a small number of young people in Leeds County, including in Lombardy.
She says the goal is simple: make sure mentoring programs continue for the kids who need them most.
Miller notes that running a not-for-profit is challenging.
She credits community support for keeping programs strong in Lanark County for more than 50 years.
Miller adds her organization is always looking for volunteers. Learn how you can help here.
