FLINT– Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flint and Genesee County announced the 18th
Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Mentoring Inspiration Breakfast, a longstanding tradition aimed at
honoring the legacy of Dr. King through a celebration of service, volunteerism and mentoring. This
annual event, scheduled for 8:30 a.m. January 15 at St. Michaels Conference Center, has
become a cornerstone in the community, drawing in over 100 supporters each year.
The Mentoring Inspiration Breakfast, initiated as a tribute to Dr. King’s commitment to service, has
evolved into a diverse gathering that includes Little Brothers and Little Sisters, volunteers, community
groups, civic and political leaders and various other attendees. This inclusive event is not a fundraiser;
instead, it serves as a platform to raise awareness and foster engagement, promoting one-to-one
mentorship professionally supported by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flint and Genesee County.
This year’s Mentoring Inspiration Breakfast is part of the collaborative efforts of the Mentoring in
Leadership Making a Difference (MLMD) collaborative, spearheaded by Mott Community College and
generously funded by the CS Mott Foundation. Partnering organizations include Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flint and Genesee County, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. – Flint Alumnae Chapter, Flint Public Health Youth Academy and Mott Community
College.
As January marks the 22nd National Mentoring Month, the Mentoring Inspiration Breakfast aligns with
the designated celebration days, including “I am a Mentor” on January 9, Dr. Martin Luther King – Day
of Service on January 15, and Thank your Mentor Day on January 25. This event underscores the
significance of mentoring in our community, emphasizing the power of positive relationships in shaping
the future.
