The resolution proposes to designate September 2025 as Big Brothers Big Sisters Youth Mentoring Month in Michigan. It highlights the significant role that Big Brothers Big Sisters, a nonprofit organization established in 1904, has played in supporting youth through one-on-one mentoring relationships. The resolution notes Michigan's historical connection to the organization, including hosting its first national conference in 1917 and currently housing eleven local agencies that serve communities statewide. It emphasizes the growing need for mentors, as many children are waiting to be matched with trusted adults, and underscores the positive impact of mentoring on youth development, resilience, and community strength.

Furthermore, the resolution cites research indicating that youth involved in quality mentoring programs, such as those offered by Big Brothers Big Sisters, are less likely to engage in risky behaviors and more likely to succeed academically and socially. It acknowledges the dedication of volunteers, known as "Bigs," who provide guidance and support to children, fostering lasting relationships that contribute to healthier communities. The resolution aims to honor mentors and raise awareness about the importance of positive role models in shaping future leaders, and it calls for copies of the resolution to be sent to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Michigan and its affiliates in recognition of their service.
