Here's Renee's interview with Andy Fleischmann, President and CEO of Nutmeg Big Brothers Big Sisters.
He chats about the 50 For Fall campaign, which is setting the goal to recruit 50 new mentors by September 22!

Our waiting list has grown during the past several months – not surprising during this time of unprecedented anxiety and confusion. It’s why we’ve just launched a mentor recruitment campaign we’re calling 50 For Fall. Our goal is to recruit 50 mentors (or more) before September 22.
Since most of the kids on our statewide waiting list are boys, we really need male mentors. We especially need male mentors of color because a lot of those waiting list kids happen to be boys of color. If you think you’d like being the catalyst that helps change a young person’s life for the better, you might be the perfect mentoring candidate. Or, maybe you have a friend, family member or business associate who’d make an inspirational mentor.
