Mentor for a child

Thank you for your interest in our program. We will be happy to see you among our volunteers.

A mentor plays a very important role in child's life. As a “Big,” he or she becomes an older brother or sister – source of advice, support, attention, care and guidance. After the first two months a strong attachment develops between the Big and Little and they become friends. A mentor can inspire positive changes in child's life through regular meetings with his/her

Mentors or “Bigs”:
•  Care and sympathize
•  Act as role models
•  Share their life experiences
•  Support and help
•  Accompany their little during his/her development 
 

BBBS conducted research evaluating the effectiveness of our mentoring program. Our research showed that children who participate in the program become:

•  More emotionally stable (84%)
•  More confident (79%)
•  More outgoing (74%)
•  More initiative   (58%)
