VENTURA COUNTY — Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County (BBSVC) is excited and honored to have received a grant of $10,000 from Sherwood Cares for the financial support needed to help serve youth in Ventura County through mentorship. The Sherwood Country Club Charitable Foundation is dedicated to serving children and families in our community by supporting programs that address educational, medical, nutritional, and safety needs. BBSVC serves youth through traditional 1-to-1 youth mentoring and provides opportunities where youth can serve as a mentor to their peers or take on leadership roles to help bring awareness to community issues.
It is with the generosity of supporters like The Sherwood Country Club Charitable Foundation that help empower youth and ignite their potential: this grant will be used to educate youth on healthy habits, nutrition, active exercise, and improving their mental health through BBSVC’s Move For Kids’ Sake campaign, which provides activities and educational sessions related to physical and mental health across the county.
