Volunteers Gather to Share JBBBS Stories

In honor of National Mentoring Month, a small group of JBBBS volunteers gathered for dinner and conversation on Tuesday, February 3rd. The “parlor meeting” allowed a small group of volunteers to meet with other volunteers, chat about ideas for activities and share their special “aha!” moments with their “Littles” or “Friends.” Below are pictures from the event and some memorable stories shared from our volunteers.

Friend2Friend Volunteers Amy and Lindsay, and Big Brother Jacob shared stories of their time volunteering with JBBBS
