​Community - Based  program

This is our traditional program, where adult mentors (Bigs) are matched with children (Littles) ages 7-15 with the commitment to see each other 4-6 hours a month for a year.  Each match is hand selected by our team based on shared interests, geography, and personality.  Big and Littles plan their own outings filled with things they like to do or might want to try. 

site - based  program

due to covid-19, the site based programs for 2020-2021 school year will be virtual - CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO 

This program is supervised by BBBS staff on site at local schools or local community settings. High school, college students, or members of the community are matched with elementary/middle school students. They meet weekly for the entire academic school year. We focus on empowering youth to become leaders, have high self-esteem and confidence, set goals for their future, and teach them important social skills to help them succeed in life. 

One-to-one matches between Bigs & Littles truly empower youth & strengthen communities. We believe every child is born with incredible potential, & we are committed to continuously evaluating & improving our programs. ​
