Community Based Mentoring
Community-based mentoring involves one-on-one outings and activities, including things like taking a walk in the park, going to a local museum, attending a free, local BBBS affiliate event, playing a board game, or just hanging out and talking.
Get Involved -
Site Based Mentoring
Mentors spend time with their Littles at a nearby school or community center playing games, helping with school work, or simply talking with their Littles about their day. They meet once a week for an hour and a half.

Be A Big
We’re always looking for people eager to invest in the future of a child in their community. For a few hours, a couple times a month, you can give (and receive) the invaluable gift of friendship.
After someone expresses an interest in becoming a Big, they go through an extensive background check and careful interview process. Then, Bigs and Littles are matched based on location, personalities and preferences. And full support is provided to the Big, Little and their family from the start, so matches can grow into lasting, impactful friendships.
You Have What It Takes
We help children realize their potential, embrace their passions and build their futures. We nurture children and strengthen communities. And we couldn't do any of this without you.
