As the Senior Enrollment Coordinator at Big Brothers Big Sisters (bbbsmidlands.org), Jalin Gerdes has the privilege of enrolling amazing volunteers (Bigs) and youth/families (Littles) into their program! She gets to match Bigs with Littles by determining who would be a successful match.
Starting her interest in this nonprofit as an undergraduate student, she chose to volunteer at a local mentoring organization as a mentor and work study student. She learned the ins and outs of the organization while also having a firsthand experience of being a mentor, now Jalin has been honing her talent at Big Brothers Big Sisters for nearly a decade and they are so happy to have her!
When she’s not working, she enjoys visiting the library and exploring the outdoors with her four-year-old son and Goldendoodle.
