But first, here's a little about our programs:

  • In our community-based mentoring program, a Big Brother/Big Brother gets to share activities with a child that they both enjoy! That might include fishing, playing board games, baking cookies, or going to ball games. They get to enjoy these fun times two or three times a month with a Little Brother or Little Sister, on their own schedule.

  • We also have a school-based mentoring programs in which the Big visits their Little Brother or Little Sister each week at their school for a shared activity that builds positive mentoring relationship.
