January Proclaimed National Mentoring Month in Green River

The mayor of Green River has signed a proclamation declaring January as National Mentoring Month in the city. The proclamation was spearheaded by the YWCA Big Brothers and Big Sisters program. Barry Cook, Green River City Administrator says the proclamation is an important one.






Research has shown that youth engaged in professionally supported mentoring programs, like the YWCA Big Brothers Big Sisters, are less likely to skip school, less likely to begin using drugs and alcohol, and are more likely to finish school. For more information, call 307-352-6635.
