LOCAL PROGRAMS SUPPORT AREA YOUTH

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rock, Walworth and Jefferson Counties (BBBS) have received funding from The Beloit Women's Fund and the Stateline Community Foundation and the Beloit Junior Women in support of their E3 program,( standing for Encourage, Empower and Energize), that will be mentoring youth victims of Human Trafficking.

This new program, developed in partnership with the Janesville Police Department and the Janesville School District will offer 90 minute mentoring per week to youth in need of the support. As Rock County and the State of Wisconsin move forward in their plans to help these youth move out of the trafficking life, it is important that programs such as E3 are in place to help the youth identify a positive path to a productive life.

As the program grows it is the intent of BBBS to reach out to Law Enforcement in Beloit and the surrounding area to expand the program throughout Rock, Walworth and Jefferson Counties.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rock, Walworth and Jefferson Counties appreciate the support of the Beloit Women's Fund and the Stateline Community Foundation for this program and the youth it serves.

If you would like information on this program please call 262-728-8865 and ask to speak with Pam.
