"Bigs" and "Littles" are the heart of our programs.

Our matches enjoy sharing simple, everyday activities with each other:  playing a game, attending a ball game, arts and crafts, watching a movie or just hanging out together.  What matters to the children is not the activity, but that they have a caring adult who is interested in their life.  Because they have someone to confide in and look up to, they do better in school and at home.

Our mentoring programs are characterized by:

• One-to-one friendship between a caring, adult volunteering and a child.
• Thorough, careful assessment and screening of volunteers, with child
  safety as our top priority.
• Thoughtful matching of volunteers and children, based on shared
  interests and personalities.
  
• Focused and tracked outcomes that measure match impact.
  

Program Options:
Every volunteer has the opportunity to select a program that fits his or her schedule and personal preferences.
Each program has proven results!
