The Big Brothers/Big Sisters program that once operated from the Butler Family YMCA used a one-to-one mentoring program with the county youth who signed up, but that model was eliminated when the Reach and Rise program took its place about four years ago.

Now, Jessica Burr, Reach and Rise clinical director, said one-on-one mentoring has returned to the program, meaning youth in Reach and Rise have the availability of both group and one-to-one attention.

Burr said group mentoring, in which a youth participates in an activity with an adult Reach and Rise mentor, is great for members who would benefit from exposure to other children experiencing the same feelings or issues they are facing.

“They can learn to be a part of a group and maybe even a leader,” she said of group activities.
