On Wednesday, September 25,2024, Christina Ploof, Volunteer Recruiter and Mentor Match Coordinator at Family Serices of Merrimack Valley for the Big Friends Little Friends Mentoring Program was our guest speaker. She gave us a very interesting presentation of the program which she recruits for and coordinates. 
 
Big Friends Little Friends - is a mentoring program serviced by Family Services of Merrimack Valley, which currently has over 50 children on our waitlist, hoping to be matched with a caring adult in the Merrimack Valley. 
 
A common thread in her work experience is the desire to help people, especially our youth, in reaching their full potential. She continues to exercise this goal in her current position at Family Services of Merrimack Valley. She believes everybody has the potential to succeed as long as they are given the necessary tools and opportunities to thrive. Mentorship can have these kinds of lasting impacts on the lives of young adults. Through her work in the Mentorship Department at FSMV, She is dedicated to ensuring that the children we serve are matched with reliable, kind and positively influential adults.
