Big Sisters Mentoring Program

WHAT WE DO TODAY MAKES A DIFFERENCE TOMORROW

Mentoring a child as a Big Sisters Mentor gives you the opportunity to provide a girl and young woman with a role model and friend; somebody to talk to and share experiences about growing up.

As a Big Sister, you’ll be part of a program that strives to:

  • Provide a role model and a friend for young girls and young women;
  • Promote the importance of staying in school and healthy relationships with family and peers;
  • Instill trust and self-confidence to make healthy decisions;
  • Encourage leadership skills and independent thinking; and
  • Above all, make a difference while having fun.

MANY OF OUR BIG SISTERS DESCRIBE THIS EXPERIENCE AS LIFE-CHANGING FOR THEM AS IT IS FOR THEIR LITTLES.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Big Sisters Mentoring program generally requires one regularly scheduled outing a week, with each outing lasting 2 to 4 hours. For any of our mentoring programs, we require a minimum one year commitment.

With regular outings, you build a relationship with your Little. This relationship is founded on trust and common interests, and is supported by BBBSO’s experienced caseworkers.
