SITE-BASED MENTORING 
​Although our Site-Based program typically takes place at our local schools, it's not limited to the classroom. Site-based matches can meet in the lunchroom, on the playground or after school program for about 1 hour per week!  
​
COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING 
Some matches may spend time in the park, playing games or other fun activities! Others get together in the evenings. Each match is unique and develops a schedule that works for them!
95%
​Littles improved their 
academic ​performance.
92%
Littles maintained or improved
their school attendance.

Help put "MEN" back in "mentoring!"

There is currently a greater need for male mentors. There many school-age boys are our waiting list who are waiting to be matched with a positive "big brother" in both our Community-Based and Site-Based Programs.
​

While our policy allows us to match Big Sisters with Little Brothers in our Site-Based program, a majority of the families have requested that their child be matched only with a Big Brother as there is a lack of positive male role models in their child's life.

"Right now, we have 19 volunteers in the enrollment process and only 2 are male" says Melissa Ryan, BBBS Program Manager; "We really want to find Big Brothers for these boys who have been referred to the program". If you have ever considered being a volunteer Big Brother or Big Sister and can spare 1 hour per week, now is the perfect time to contact us to learn which program is right for you and your schedule!

If you can be consistent, a good listener, like to have fun and have even just a little time to spare, you can be a Big!

​2022-23 Match of the year

Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Johns County awards one BIG and one LITTLE as our Match of the Year every year. This award recognizes those who have shown their commitment to positively impacting their LITTLE's lives. This year, the award goes to Big Brother Delroy Walwyn and Little Brother Jefohn Jefferson, who have been matched for three years. To Jefohn, Delroy is more than just a Big Brother; he is a father figure and a lifelong best friend. Delroy's dedication to Jefohn and Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Johns has been commendable and has inspired staff, Jefohn's family, other BIGs, and BBBS supporters. We are immensely grateful to Delroy for his unwavering commitment to BBBS.
 ​
​Congratulations Delroy & Jefohn!
