January is National Mentoring Month, and this year, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Western North Carolina is celebrating it by recruiting more adult and high school volunteers, as well as children and youth who need an extra someone on their side.
“One truth I know,” said Lelia Duncan, Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Western North
Carolina, “is that we are all called to take care of one another, to encourage, to uplift, to hold a space for
others to be listened to and valued. There is nothing more important, nothing closer to the divine, than
to be present and to take a moment to nurture those around us, especially children and youth.”
Big Brothers Big Sisters of WNC is especially effective in helping young people feel valued and heard.
Surveys of school personnel in the 2018-2019 school year show that, among BBBSWNC Littles in

National Mentoring Month is the time of year where engagement from community members interested
in becoming a mentor is highest. This year, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Western North Carolina is
encouraging the public to go beyond just digital engagement – and become involved in real life.
Mentoring relationships are at their best when connections are made between a caring adult and a
young person who knows that someone is there to help guide them through real-life decisions.

JOIN US for an engaging program with dynamic performances, presentations by local Community organizations, reflections from community representatives and an inspirational keynote address by Dr. Brenda Thames, Prisma Health Chief Academic Executive Officer and Provost.
This year’s theme “Where do I go from here?” is based on Dr. King’s last book: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY?
Today we find ourselves still grappling with the same question.
Our goal is to mobilize our viewers to personally contribute to moving America towards unity. The theme is a self-reflective question that pushes us to consider how we, as individuals, can make our society better now and for coming generations. Through our program we want to help bring clarity to the uncertainty surrounding our future by promoting specific tools for empowerment, inspiration and guidance.
The YouTube Link to join the program will be provided in your Registration Confirmation E-mail.
ONLINE CELEBRATION: JANUARY 15 – 22, 2021
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Association of Asheville + Buncombe County, Inc., a 501 (c)(3) entity, is currently planning for our annual MLK, Jr. Celebration events. The format for the 2021 Celebration will be different this year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. As we commemorate forty (40) years of service and celebrations, we will move most of our programming to online platforms utilizing YouTube and Zoom. The 2021 programming will be expanded to a week-long list of events, and the speaker for the Prayer Breakfast will be Dr. Oralene Simmons, President, MLK Association. She will be sharing some of the forty-year struggles of not only the Association, but the 400 years of struggles of the Black race in the United States.
How to Watch: Programming Will be available starting 1/15/21 on YouTube. Subscribe and hit the bell icon to receive a notification each time a video is published for MLK Week!
