About Ignite Something Big

Ignite Something Big is all about providing the life-changing impact of mentoring and bringing that opportunity to more kids throughout the Capital Region. We can all think of mentors who have given us the tools to grow into the people we are today. Where would you be without that person? Some communities do not have access to an information network of mentors. That’s where you come in. You can bring caring mentors into children's lives. Mentors help them think about their futures, make healthy choices, and create positive relationships. When you make a donation of any size, it changes lives.
