What are the responsibilities and job description for the Big Brothers Big Sisters - Youth Safety and Wellbeing position at AmeriCorps?
Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA) is the largest one-to-one mentoring program, serving more than 100,000 young people ages five through early adulthood each year. Currently, there are over 40,000 children on the waitlist, with five times more boys waiting for a mentor than girls.
