Becoming a Big Brother / Big Sister / Big Couple
Our traditional and most flexible mentoring program, we pair adult mentors with youth ages 6 to 13 under the commitment to see each other twice a month for a few hours. We hand-select every Match based on shared interests, geography, and personality.
Bigs and Littles in this program plan their own time together doing what they enjoy when it works best for them – fun times and flexibility. Through this time together, opportunities arise for meaningful conversations about family, friends, school, and the future. Because of these conversations and the consistent presence and encouragement of a Big, Littles are set on the right path to grow into mature teens and thriving young adults.
