A “Big” is a caring individual, aged 19 years or older, who is interested in being a part of a child’s life at least twice a month for a minimum of one year.

You don’t need any special degrees or job skills. You just have to want to positively impact a young person. Role models come in all shapes and sizes, and you could be a perfect fit.

You don’t have to do it alone, either. Becoming a Big Couple or Big Friends are options for couples or friends that would prefer a shared experience as opposed to each of them having a Little of their own.  Big Friends are two individuals who have been “friends” for a minimum of 2 years and want to be matched together to the same Little. Big Couples have been in a relationship for at least 2 years but do not have to be married.

A “Big” is a caring individual, aged 19 years or older, who is interested in being a part of a child’s life at least 4-6 hours per month for a minimum of one year.

Community-Based (“CB”) Mentoring

Bigs and Littles hang out twice a month doing normal, everyday activities, like seeing a movie, doing homework, playing games, going out to eat, or just hanging out! We provide several resources for finding the right activity for your match including a mobile application called The Big App.

Site-Based (“SB”) Mentoring

Bigs visit the designated school of their Little once per week over the lunch hour to spend time with them throughout the course of the school year.
