One Year 100 Men hits half way point

Big Brothers Big Sisters launched the One year 100 men campaign back in September to find mentors for the 88 young boys currently on the waiting list.
As of today the program has matched 48 boys with mentors.
Although One year 100 Men is geared toward male volunteers, Big Brothers Big Sisters is still actively recruiting Big Sisters too.
