WJON — Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Minnesota celebrated the end of an annual mentorship program at St. Cloud State University on Wednesday morning.
The Dr. Potter Bigs on Campus Mentoring Initiative, which brings together students from the St. Cloud Area School District, Big Brothers Big Sisters, faculty and alumni of St. Cloud State, and business professionals from the community completed its third year.
The program was inspired by a pilot model in Michigan that aimed to bring business professionals and kids together for mentorship. Grant and Communications Manager Shannon Harter says it exposes kids to the possibilities of post-secondary education.
