Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta

Ah, the holidays! Great smells, great sounds all do a great job at pulling on our heart strings. Hopefully they’ll pull enough to make you want to go and do something for others. If you like children, mentoring could be great. BUT, don’t let smiling faces on website at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta fool you… this unfortunately is not a great place to volunteer/​support. I had the opportunity to witness an exchange between the top administrators and the staff… and let me tell you, NOT pretty. In a nutshell, there’s just too much wackiness and anxiety to truly get your SERVICE ON. Also when staff is more focused on covering their backsides from the next storm, you know that they CANT TRULY FOCUS ON THE NEEDY CHILDREN.
Thankfully, there are other charities who could really use your help! Besides, you’ll get so tired of the ridiculously LONG wait for anybody to call you back, schedule ANY appointments with you and etc. They say they’re busy, but I’ve been around them and just didn’t see alot of work… lots of catering to crazy people, but I don’t count that as the CHARITABLE work people donated hard earned dollars for.
Try East Atlanta kids Club or Habitat or heck ANYWHERE… but let’s wait on the Lord to work this one out.
