OUR PROGRAMS
Mentoring is what we know best. However, we have different mentoring programs available that shape the way you can interact with your Little.
-
Community-Based - Many of our matches are considered a community-based match. That means they can go out in the community together and enjoy activities they both enjoy; the sky is the limit! Community-based matches meet at least twice a month for a minimum total of 3 hours.
-
(Couples Match) Community-Based - Couples can go out in the community together (Couple with their Little together. This type of match is matched with a Little boy.) and enjoy activities they all three enjoy; the sky is the limit! Community-based matches meet at least twice a month for a minimum total of 3 hours.
-
Site-Based - These matches meet only in the school during the school year or at a specific site. They often spend time working on homework, playing games, or just catching up on what's new. Site-based matches meet once a week during the child's lunch/recess or at a specific site.
-
High School Bigs - Part of our programs in Spencer & Posey Counties include a mentoring program specifically designed for high school juniors and seniors. They meet with local elementary and middle school students to meet weekly.
-
Bigs with Badges - This program connects our youth with law enforcement and first responders in our community who care most about kids in our community. Learn more.
