PROGRAMS

Community-Based Program

In our Community-Based Program, youth ages 7 to 15 are matched with adult mentors in a one-on-one relationship. Matches are made based on preferences, similar interests, locations, and personalities. Adult volunteers commit to spending one-on-one time with their mentee 2 times per month for 3 – 5 hours per outing. Match activities are year-round and include spending time at the park, museums, sporting events, and a variety of other community activities.

School-Based Program

In our School-Based Program, youth ages 5 to 15 are matched with adult volunteers or high school students from participating or nearby schools. Matches meet 2 – 4 times per month for one hour on school grounds during the school year and devote portions of their time each meeting on units and activities in BBBS’ curriculum as well as on homework, playing games or sports, or just hanging out. The School-Based program is designed to enhance academic capability, one-on-one relationships, critical thinking, and decision-making skills.
