A house RESOLUTION

to express strong support for the Big Homie Lil 
Homie Mentoring Program and its mission to uplift and empower youth through 
meaningful mentorship; to encourage community members, local leaders, 
businesses, and organizations to partner with, volunteer for, and invest in the 
success of the program; and to encourage the exploration of opportunities to 
provide resources, visibility, and institutional support to expand the outreach 
and impact of the program.

Whereas, Big Homie Lil 
Homie is a nonprofit organization that uplifts young males by molding and 
shaping them into great men of society through mentoring, and

Whereas, the Big Homie 
Lil Homie mentoring program is designed to connect experienced, responsible 
mentors, Big Homies, with youth, Lil Homies, to foster personal growth, 
leadership development, accountability, and community engagement; and

Whereas, the program promotes 
values including respect, integrity, education, conflict resolution, and civic 
responsibility; and

Whereas, mentoring 
relationships have been shown to improve outcomes in education, to reduce 
involvement in negative behaviors, and to strengthen community ties; and

Whereas, the Big Homie Lil 
Homie mentoring program seeks to create safe spaces for dialogue, skill building, 
and empowerment, particularly for male youth who may face systemic barriers or 
limited access to resources; and

Whereas, supporting mentorship 
initiatives contributes to building stronger, safer, and more connected 
communities. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, express strong support for the Big Homie Lil Homie mentoring 
program and its mission to uplift and empower youth through meaningful 
mentorship; encourage community members, local leaders, businesses, and 
organizations to partner with, volunteer for, and invest in the success of the 
program; and encourage the exploration of opportunities to provide resources, 
visibility, and institutional support to expand the outreach and impact of the 
program.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the leadership of Big Homie Lil 
Homie.
