Mentoring Activities

At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Livingston County we offer a variety of programs to support our youth. Whether you can give two hours a week or two hours a month, our mentoring programs can find a child who not only needs you but can fit easily into your lifestyle.

Community-Based Programs

In our Community-Based program, a volunteer is matched in a one-on-one relationship with a Little Brother or Little Sister ages five through sixteen. Activities take place in the community without on-site supervision of agency staff.

Site-Based Programs

In our Site-Based programs, Bigs and Littles are matched in an individual or group setting (one-to-one mentoring still takes place) in order to strengthen social, academic, decision-making, or problem-solving skills. All match activities take place in a supervised location.
 

  • Big Futures

    First through fifth graders are mentored in an after-school program. Bigs and Littles meet weekly engaging in fun activities which teach life skills and goal setting.

     

  • Lunch Buddies (Made possible through a grant from Citizens Insurance): This program offers elementary school children the opportunity to eat lunch and share special time with a mentor during their lunch hour. Mentors meet with their Little bi-weekly at a school close to their home or work.
