Community-Based Mentoring:
Bigs meet with their Littles on the weekend or in the evening. Each match is unique and develops a schedule that works for them while doing activities they find enjoyable.
School-Based Mentoring:
Taking place in the schools, some Littles talk with their Bigs about class, do homework, or read together. It is perfectly fine (& encouraged!) to shoot hoops in the gym or play on the playground.
One hour a week,
with
a child can start something amazing. So why not apply to be a Big today? There are kids out there ready to get started. Are you?
Contact Lindsey Phillips at 563-263-9996 or
