Big Brothers Big Sisters - I think role models are a large influence during childhood. BBBS helps ensure that these children have at least one good role model.
Almost Home - This agency provides transitional housing for teenage mothers and their children. As we learned from our Senior Seminar presentation, "place matters." I think it is a good thing to help young mothers provide a safe and stable place for them to raise their young children.
Beginning Babies with Books - This agency's goal is to try to increase the number of literate children by starting children reading at a very young age. I love this idea because I think the ability to read is a skill everyone should have, and good readers lead to better thinkers!
Beyond Housing - This agency's mission is to provide people in need access to affordable housing, together with a comprehensive array of educational, employment, youth development and other support services. I think this is important because living well is more than just about having a home.
