Help Big Brothers Big Sisters Find 110 Black Men to Mentor Youth

Join us Saturday April 28 at St. James Grand Lodge to Make a Difference for our Kids!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Chicago has an urgent need for African American men to volunteer to mentor boys on the South and West sides. Right now, Big Brothers Big Sisters has over 300 children who have been on a waitlist for six months or longer, waiting to be matched with a mentor. Over 65% of these children are African American males.

Most Worshipful St. James Grand Lodge and Queen Beatrice Grand Chapter Joint Charity Committee have partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters to assist in answering the call.

Join us on Saturday April 28th, from 1-3pm to learn more and hear about how you can help.
