Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities faces shortage of volunteers

There’s a growing list of kids in the Twin Cities waiting for mentors in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.

Organization leaders say there aren’t any special qualifications to begin, and volunteers may end up learning just as much as the kids do.

The organization says there are over 300 kids waiting for matches.
