Federal-Mogul Hosts Mentor Day for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit

    SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 15 -- Instead of hearing a school
bell ring on Tuesday, December 15, 1998, 12 Metro Detroit students will
experience a typical work day at Federal-Mogul Corporation's World
Headquarters during the company's third Mentor Day with Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit.
    The students, ages 12-16, will be paired with Federal-Mogul employee
volunteers and spend the day "job shadowing" to help them understand the
business environment.  The students will have a job description, receive a
mock performance evaluation, attend meetings and receive a "paycheck" at the
end of the day.  The youngsters will also participate in communication,
strategic-planning and goal-setting exercises.
    The Mentor Day activities are part of Federal-Mogul's corporate
partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters, which includes at least 10,000
hours annually of volunteer time from Federal-Mogul headquarters employees.
For more than 90 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America has been the
preeminent national youth-serving organization, based on a One-To-One(R)
relationship between an adult volunteer and a child at risk.  Volunteers,
serving as mentors and role models, help children increase their self-
confidence and see themselves as having happy and successful futures.
