To enable life-changing mentoring relationships to ignite the power and potential of young people so they can realize their full potential.
1:1 Community and Site Based Mentoring (Allocations): Big Brothers Big Sisters connects, supports, and supervises mentoring relationships between trained volunteer adult mentors and vulnerable children and youth in need of a positive role model.
During 1:1 mentorship, adult mentors and their mentees meet weekly for a minimum of one year (community-based program) or one school year (site-based program), providing the consistency young people need to develop a multitude of skills and well-being to cope with the stress of exposure to adverse childhood experiences.
Group Mentoring Program (Allocations): The Group Mentoring Program provides multi-week group-based mentoring programs in-schools to vulnerable children during the school year. This is done through outcome-focused programs, aiming to provide a buffer to toxic stress, and development of wellbeing tools for positive social-emotional skills, and resilience.
