Community-Based Mentoring Program:
Our core program matches a volunteer Big Brother or Sister with a child who could benefit from a one-to-one relationship with a caring adult. Bigs and Littles meet a few times per month, for a couple of hours each time, at places and times convenient to both. The two share similar interests, and spend their time together engaged in activities such as playing catch, watching movies, touring museums, cheering on the local sports teams or simply hanging out.

School-Based Mentoring Program:
Volunteer Big Brothers and Sisters matched in our school-based program meet their Little Brothers or Sisters at school a few times a month over the course of the academic year. During lunch or after school, Bigs and Littles play on the playground, swap stories, work on homework or simply sit and talk, among other activities. Throughout the summer months, school-based matches are encouraged to keep in touch via letters and e-mails.
