Primary Programs:

Big Brothers Big Sisters School Based Program matches a volunteer with a child at participating schools. Time commitment is once a week for the academic year. An on-site BBBS case manager oversees the program and provides on-going support. Our Community Based Program matches children with an adult role model. The pair plans their activities, and meets at least twice a month. Each one-to-one relationship is supported by a case manager.

We surveyed local teachers at the end of the 2006/07 school year to determine the impact our volunteers where making in lives of the children we serve. The results were astonishing.

Our matches are effective because professional staff ensure that the relationships are safe and rewarding for everyone involved.
