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! |

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! Contact Melissa or Kit today to learn more! CLICK HERE TO BE A MENTOR TODAY! |
