For 10 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta’s Young Leadership Council (YLC) has brought together young professionals who are passionate about making a difference and empowering the next generation of Atlanta’s youth.

BBBSMA CEO Kwame Johnson and YLC Vice Chair Bradford Wynn joined @atlantanewsfirst to celebrate this milestone and share more about YLC’s mission, what it means to become a Big, and the lasting impact a consistent, caring mentor can have in a young person’s life. They also highlighted the ongoing need for mentors in our community and encouraged more adults to get involved. Being a Big means sharing your time and encouragement with a young person who could benefit from having someone in their corner. Interested in becoming a Big? Learn more at bbbsatl.org/be-a-big.
