Jon Carolin is not only my brother, but he's the first male guest to be on Shine A Light! I was so happy to sit down with him.  Jon shares his own personal experiences with bullying, and how he followed the path to become a social worker.  He shares how important it is for young people to have a mentor. Jon worked for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Indianapolis for several years before moving back home to Detroit, where he began working for The Children's Center. On the side, Jon is also part of the 313 Ghostbusters, whose purpose is to give back to the community by attending charity events/walks.
