Their relationship personifies the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters, said Holly Ferree, program director at the High Point office. Combs is a sophomore at Wesleyan Christian Academy and hopes to become a youth minister. Both say they want to continue working with Big Brothers Big Sisters after Combs ages out of the program in two years. The local office has never received the national award. Big Brothers Big Sisters pairs adult mentors with children who need good role models.
Mentors undergo training and each same-sex pair meets for at least one hour each week.
