A Lesson in Friendship!



Site-Based Mentoring is one-to-one mentoring that takes place in a structured setting at a local school or community center. Matches meet once a week for 90 minutes during after school hours. Site-Based Mentoring is not a classroom program and it's not tutoring. Although students may talk with their mentors about class, or do homework, or read together, the focus is on friendship and guidance. Matches may play board games, shoot hoops, participate in a group activity or simply talk about their day.

A Big Brothers Big Sisters Coordinator is present at each visit to help these relationships grow through guidance and various planned recreational, educational and cultural activities. 

Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age for the Site-Based Program and must have completed at least the tenth grade.
