IT’S TEACHER APPROVED
SCHOOL-BASED MENTORING
It may sound obvious, but sometimes the best place to help a child realize their potential is at school. Kids enjoy having their Bigs meet with them there, whether it’s in the classroom or on the playground. And parents know what a positive impact it makes.
IT’S TEACHER APPROVED.
Some of the biggest supporters of our School-Based Mentoring program are actually teachers. They see students come back from their time with their Big filled with confidence, smiling big, ready to learn and eager to succeed.
LEARNING ABOUT LIFE.
Although it takes place at schools, our School-Based Mentoring program isn’t limited to the classroom. Of course, some Littles do talk with their Bigs about class, or do homework, or read together, but it’s perfectly fine to shoot hoops in the gym or play on the playground. At the end of the day, it’s really all about starting a friendship, providing guidance and inspiring them to reach their potential.
SCHOOL FRIENDS PROGRAM
Through the consistent support and guidance you provide your Little in the School Friends program, you can have a lasting impact on the life of a child in your community. School Friends Bigs are matched on-to-one to a child and visit them at their school once per week. You and your “Little” can share in fun activities such as:
- Reading together
- Playing a card or board game
- Doing a craft project
- Simply hanging out and talking
INVEST IN A CHILD’S FUTURE
When you support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Green County, you change lives for children here in your community.
