BROTHERS BIG SISTERS, HEART OF IOWA

Marshalltown, Iowa 50158

Melanie Reed, Director
What is universal to being a Big Brother or Big Sister is that most Bigs start out thinking they'll give something back, yet most end up saying, "I get back so much more than I give." As a Big, you are simply a friend. We ensure that your friendship fits your lifestyle, and we have something for everyone. Busy people of all ages can get involved, and you can choose the program that works best for you.
Big Brothers and Big Sisters are the positive role models so vitally important to children at risk of failing in school or of engaging in harmful behavior. Just by sharing experiences, celebrating accomplishments, and listening to a child's concerns, a Big Brother or a Big Sister has the opportunity to reach and at-risk child before the risk reaches them.
Just think about it: Young adolescents saying '"no" to drugs and alcohol, immporving their school attendance, getting along better with their families and peers--all because they had Big Brothers and Big Sisters...

Ely Brewer, Director
Joel Baumgartner, Marshall County Representative
E-mail: tamahatodd@iowatelecom.net
Community Service:
The highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America is Eagle
Scout. The Mid-Iowa Council awards nearly 160 of this
prestigious award a year (2004) in the 27 county area
the Council serves. This represents nearly 19,717 hours
of community service. In addition Cub Scouts Packs,
Boy Scout Troops, and Venturing Crews provide an additional
50,000 hours of community service.
Leadership:
Through a variety of practical experiences, young people
are afforded the opportunity to learn about teamwork
and leadership. No matter whether these young people
were followers or leaders, almost always it meant working
with others.
Self - Esteem:
Scouting builds confidence, self-esteem, and self-reliance,
through encouragement, recognition and exposure to challenging
new experiences. No other program offers the combination
of training and real life experiences that Scouting
does to build decision-making skills, initiative, social
skills, and respect.
Positive Role Models:
In 2000, eight out of ten children in the United States
were living in a single-parent home. Scouting provides
its members with vital influences of caring, responsible
volunteers whose guidance and friendship are essential
to their development. The informal, fun environment
of Scouting helps youth form meaningful relationships
with adults.
