Traditional Community Based Program

Big Brothers

Being a Big Brother can be as much fun as it sounds.  You can build model airplanes, toss around a football, play computer games or just hang out. It's about sharing a little time together- a few hours a week for one year is all it takes to make a big difference in the life of a young person. 


Big Sisters

Every girl needs a Big Sister to share with, talk to or confide in.  Whether it's playing sports, learning a new craft or just goofing around, you'll make a big difference in each other's life.  You'll both be forever changed by the experience.  Note: Due to the high number of young males waiting for a mentor, we support and encourage cross-gender matching (adult female with young male).
