WHAT DO STUDENT BIGS DO?
Student Bigs provide friendship and encouragement to an elementary-aged youth through guided mentoring activities. The Big talks with their Little, helps them with homework, and participates in fun and stimulating activities led by a Big Brothers Big Sisters coordinator. Younger youth look up to high school and college students and enjoy spending time with them! The friendship of a Student Big makes Littles feel valued and more confident in themselves and their abilities.
WHAT ARE THE TYPE OF MENTORING OPPORTUNITIES?
Big Brothers Big Sisters is accepting applications for Student Bigs to volunteer at in-person mentoring such as our Site-Based Program. Mentoring sessions occur once per week after school, for 90 minutes at a time. This is a great opportunity to earn valuable volunteer service hours with a nationally-recognized program!
