MENTORING PROGRAMAS

1:1 and 2:1 Mentoring (Community-Based)

Bigs (adults) spend a minimum of 6 hours a month in direct interaction/communication with their Littles pursuing everyday activities that they need or enjoy such as shopping, cooking and baking, watching a movie, visiting parks or museums, helping with homework, attending sporting events, having phone and zoom conversations and more.

2:1 mentoring involves a couple from the same household serving as Bigs to a Little. We accept applications for children between the ages of 8 and 15 who reside in Onondaga County. Littles that have been actively matched within this age range may continue with their match until aging out at 19.

School-Based Mentoring

Area High School and College Students serve as Bigs and meet with Elementary School Students (Grades 3 to 6) each week during the school year under the supervision of BBBS staff. Key areas of focus include: academics and homework help, healthy snacks, arts and crafts, board and table games and small/large group activities.

Site-Based Mentoring (Community-Based)

Littles meet adult Bigs in a specific location twice a month under supervision of the BBBS staff. Key areas of focus include: academics and homework help, healthy snacks, arts and crafts, video and table games and small/large group activities.

Workplace Mentoring

Littles from a selected school (Grades 6 to 8) are transported to a specific workplace every other week during the school year. Here employees serve as the Bigs and mentoring takes place under the supervision of a Mentor Manager. Programming focuses on building the skills necessary for academic and personal success, including homework help, healthy snacks, one-to-one mentoring along with small/large group activities.
