Every child is unique, and we’ve designed our programs to effectively serve your child’s individual needs. We currently have three ways to get involved, and they’re all designed so you can get involved in the way that works best for you. We’ll never leave you on your own. Our staff are trained social services professionals, here to help whenever you need it. You’ll be well-equipped with loads of information, advice, tips, and answers. And we’ve also got activity ideas, organized events, and a handy list of discounts available to our Matches.
Many relationships between Bigs and Littles begin in our Community-Based programs. These mentoring relationships involve one-on-one outings and activities. Whether Bigs and Littles meet on the weekends for a morning coffee or chatting on the weekday afternoons, every match is unique and special.
We have many Site-Based Mentoring Programs, adapting to busy schedules and creating an environment of fun, confidence-building, and memory-making. During the school year, our Littles are excited to visit with their Bigs at their workplace or school.
Big Brothers Big Sisters often provides an activity to get a match started building new skills and creating life-long memories!Sometimes, the best place to help a child realize their potential is at school! Bigs in School is a flexible opportunity for mentors to visit their Little at school, whether it's in the school library or on the playground.
While families know what a positive impact having a mentor makes, teachers are some of the biggest supporters of this program! They see first-hand how a Little returns to class with a smile and new-found confidence!
