In this special episode of Marketing Your Private Practice with Kathy C, we take a break from marketing strategies to spotlight an incredible cause - Big Brothers Big Sisters.
As part of the worldwide Podcasthon https://podcasthon.org/ Kathy shares her personal experience as a Big Sister and talks with Bethany Porter, the mentoring and volunteer coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Halifax.
Kathy opens up about what inspired her to join the program, how easy it was to get started, and the rewarding experience of mentoring a 9-year-old young girl in her community.
Bethany provides some insight into the organization’s mission, the impact of mentorship, and how just a few hours a month can create lasting change in a child's life.
They discuss the matching process, common misconceptions about the time and financial commitment, and a couple of success stories of matches - many of which turn into lifelong friendships.
With 107 children currently on the waitlist in Halifax alone, the need for volunteers is urgent. Whether you're 19 or 90, there's a child who could benefit from your time and kindness if not here in Kathy’s city - then in your own city or town too!
If you've ever considered becoming a Big Sister or Brother with this organization but felt unsure, this episode will give you the clarity and encouragement you need.
