Together, We are Defenders of Potential!

Big Brothers Big Sisters develops positive, meaningful relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people. At the center of our mission is one-to-one mentoring with each mentor ("Big") spending time with his or her mentee ("Little") through one of three primary programs: Community-Based, School/Site-Based, and mentor2.0.

Community-Based is a the traditional mentor model where a child is matched with an adult volunteer mentor and participates in outings and activities. Bigs and Littles meet a minimum of two to four times a month throughout the year and are able to participate in a variety of BBBS-sponsored events and programs.

School/Site-Based mentoring takes place at a school or partner site, with a focus on academic achievement and planning for the future. Littles meet with their Bigs weekly throughout the school year during a non-core class, extended lunch break, or after school.

Mentor2.0 is designed to help students graduate from high school prepare for the future - socially, academically, and professionally. Mentor2.0 leverages email communication with in-person events to reach high school students through a technology-driven program that is more flexible on mentor's and mentee's schedule.
