With the New Year, the Next Door’s youth mentoring programs became Gorge Youth Mentoring. The programs had previously been known as Big Brothers Big Sisters and Mentor 4 Success, but the Next Door decided to leave Big Brothers Big Sisters after determining they could no longer meet the financial requirements of the national organization to use that name. Justine Ziegler of the Next Door says streamlining to one locally based program should allow them to better use their resources. Now there will only be one application process, with Gorge Youth Mentoring matching youngsters in all age ranges with adult mentors.
