MENTORship Matters
You don’t need any special degrees or job skills to be a mentor.
You just have to want to positively impact a young person.
Bigs and Littles hang out 2-3 times a month for a few hours doing normal, everyday activities, like seeing a movie, doing homework, playing games, going out to eat, or just hanging out!
With a Big in their life, Littles are empowered to ignite their potential as they grow in their self-esteem, earn better grades, and develop a lifelong friendship with their Big.
Big Brothers Big Sisters makes it possible, but the impact is a direct result of the influence of a positive role model like you!

ON THE FENCE? THERE ARE MULTIPLE WAYS TO MENTOR
Make an Impact | Broaden your Perspective | Gain a Forever Friend
COMMUNITY MENTORING
An adult volunteer mentors a child between the ages of 6 and 16, spending one-on-one time together twice a month. Through activities like playing ball, catching up over lunch and going to the park, life-changing friendships are built. Having the friendship and support of a mentor opens a child’s eyes to new possibilities.
BIG COUPLES
One couple (two adults) are matched with one child to build a life-changing friendship. Big Couples are matched with a Little Brother, spending time with him together or on their own. Outings are scheduled at your convenience twice a month for a few hours each time. This program allows ultimate flexibility for couples juggling work and other commitments.
WORKPLACE Mentoring
Focusing on college and career readiness, Workplace Mentoring offers high school students a jump start in their professional development with exposure to major corporations and 1:1 time with accomplished mentors. Employees are matched with high school students and meet once a month at company headquarters.
