Buffalo, NY – WBFO is presenting a series of local conversations from Story Corps. You've been hearing Story Corps segments on Friday morning for the past couple of years. Now, the Western New York Mentoring Coalition is partnering with Story Corps to record the stories of mentors and the people they help.

Today, we hear from Big Brother Laguan and Little Brother Zaire who were matched through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Erie County. Zaire was ten years old when they met and is now in the 6th grade. Big Brother Laguan is a senior at Buffalo State College studying communications. They were asked what they learned from each other. Zaire shares his thoughts first.

Click the "listen" icon above to hear the Story Corps segment now or use your podcasting software to download it to your computer or iPod.

January is mentoring month. To learn more about mentoring opportunities in Western New York, contact Western York Mentoring Coalition at 833-3331.
