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 (as long as they remain in school).
School-Based Mentoring
Under the supervision of a BBBS Mentor Manager, “littles” in the Central Square School District, grades 3-6, meet weekly during the school year with “bigs” from Paul V. Moore High School (Central Square). Key areas of focus include: 1:1 mentoring, homework help, general academics, healthy snacks, arts’n crafts, board and table games, and small/large group activities.
