Mentoring Specialist: Charlevoix & Emmet Counties

Mentoring Specialist:
Charlevoix & Emmet Counties

For over 50 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan (Bigs) has developed and supported one-to-one mentoring relationships for more than 16,000 children in our five-county region (Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, Grand Traverse and Kalkaska).

Through our commitment to quality and innovation, our team develops, monitors, and sustains caring and supportive, life-changing relationships between adult volunteers (Bigs) and youth (Littles). Our passion for our work has a direct and lasting impact on the lives of our youth and the adults who mentor them.

There are over 1,700 children in Charlevoix and Emmet Counties that need mentorship from a caring adult right now. If you believe in the motivational power of mentorship, the Force is strong with you, so read on. Every Padawan needs a Jedi mentor, so in your role as Mentoring Specialist, you’ll provide leadership and training to volunteer mentors, parents, and youth ages six through adolescence to inspire them to reach their full potential (and avoid the perils of the Empire).

This position is located in Petoskey and reports to the Director of Mentoring with primary responsibilities including creating and supporting Bigs’ matches to ensure child safety, positive outcomes, healthy and satisfying relationships, and a strong sense of affiliation with Bigs.
