What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Community-Based mentoring
The Community-Based mentoring program is traditionally what first comes to mind when you think of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Through this program, Bigs and Littles are paired based on geographic proximity and shared interests and are provided professional support through Big Brothers Big Sisters Match Support team. Community-Based matches are encouraged to spend time doing low-cost or free activities that help promote the kind of trusted relationship that helps a young person build self-confidence, think about their future, and, of course, have fun!
Beyond School Walls
Beyond School Walls is a workplace-based one-to-one mentoring program affiliated with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Local companies give back to the community by hosting children from a nearby school at their corporate office. The children are matched with employee volunteer mentors and they typically meet during the lunch hour every other week. BBBS staff attends each session and facilitates curriculum promoting life skills development.
