Community Based Mentoring
Community Based Mentoring is the foundation on which Big Brothers Big Sisters was built—matching youth ages 6 to 14 with adult role models one-on-one for guidance, support, and friendship.Community Based Mentoring meets a couple of times each month to do things together, such as toss a football, go on bike rides, bake cookies, work on homework, surf the internet, or shoot hoops. It's flexible—you and your Little plan activities and meet when it works for both of you.
Littles are matched with Big Sisters and Big Brothers. This program allows the Littles to shine as they grow and learn from their mentor about relationships and develop to their full potential. Our agency has a professional and experienced staff to support your match to ensure a fun, fulfilling experience.
