BIG BROTHERS / BIG SISTERS SEEKS MENTORS: SCOPE Senior Services is partnering with Big Brothers / Big Sisters to conduct a monthly mentorship program where senior citizens will partner up with a child to communicate with them on a regular basis. Thanks to a grant from the Trumbull County Board of Mental Health & Recovery Board, up to 25 senior citizens over 60 can serve as mentors to a child ages 6 to 14 years of age.

Big Brothers / Big Sisters will put together a monthly activity for the mentors and children to meet and get to know each other. The normal activity program will occur at the Warren Senior Citizen Center located at the old YWCA building. There can also be special events held during the year. This will be an after-school type program and plans to begin activities in September. Call Big Brothers / Big Sisters at 330-545-0002, or visit the Warren SCOPE Senior Citizen Center at 375 N.
