Program Information
Title: Community Based, One to One
Description: Our "One to One" program is what Big Brothers Big Sisters is founded upon. This program matches a caring adult volunteer (like you!) with a child between the ages of 6-13 in a one to one mentoring relationship. Each match meets on a regular basis as determined by the volunteer "Big", parent and child "Little".
