Big Brothers Mentoring
The Big Brothers mentoring program provides males, self-identifying males, and non-binary young people with a role model to talk to and share the experiences of growing up with. Through regular outings, a relationship is developed between the mentor and the mentee, which is built on trust and common interests, and is supported by our experienced caseworkers. The result is a life-changing experience for both the mentor and the mentee.
Matches spend approximately 2 hours per week together doing things that friends do like going biking, playing ball, doing crafts, watching a movie or just spending time together. We ask our volunteers to give a minimum one-year commitment.
The program strives to do the following:
- Provide a role model and a friend for the young people
- Promote the importance of staying in school
- Promote healthy relationships with family and peers
- Instill trust and self-confidence in order to make healthy decisions
- Encourage leadership skills and independent thinking

In-School Mentoring
Studies show that mentoring helps kids stay in school, avoid risky behavior such as bullying, and grow up having more respect for family, peers and community.
