Couples

Couples are invited to share the rewards of sharing their time together with a “Little”.  Both partners act as “Bigs” to the child.  They are free to plan activities together and individually.  This is ideal for couples whether they have children or not and perfect for retired adults that still have a little -or a lot of kid still in them.  Our couple matches enjoy inviting their “Little” to dinner, taking them to community events, or sharing other activities with them.  Couple mentoring is especially beneficial to “Littles” that are growing up in a single parent home.

Working Adults

Either one of our programs is great for working adults.  Our community-based program gives you the flexibility that many people need so that they can incorporate their “Little” into the activities that they already do.  We just ask that you can spend at least 8 hours per month with your “Little”.  This can be a couple of four hour Saturdays or  once a week for a couple of hours.  Going to the grocery store, sharing time over a meal, or attending a community event eliminates the need to find more time and just include them in the activities that you ALREADY do!

Teams

Have you and a friend, co-worker or church member talked about how great it would be to help out some of the kids in the community…if only you had the time?

Well, two heads are better than one and two “Bigs” can be better that one, too!  With team mentors, you can take turns spending time with your “Little”, you can plan activities together, or a combination of  both.  Team matches have the wonderful ability to show a “Little” early on the power and importance of friends.  You and your “Little” will get…Two times the fun!

Retirees

There’s a saying that goes, “You are only as old as you feel.”  Although we are over 100 years old, we, at BBBS feel that children have the awesome ability to make you feel young and bring out the kid in you.  So, while you are enjoying the life of leisure, take your “Little” along and share what you know.  Many precious traditional activities are being replaced by joysticks and computer technology.  This is a wonderful opportunity for adults to pass on the simple fun of playing a round of golf, fishing off a pier, or the lost art of baking homemade cookies.

Leaders

Every leader today has gotten to their position of leadership with the help and guidance of someone else.  So why not give back to our up and coming “Little Leaders”?  In every organized structure of learning the “newbies” learn from the more seasoned veterans. This mentoring relationship occurs in businesses, government, faith-based organizations and even families.  Allow us to match you with a “Little Leader” so that they may benefit from your guidance and expertise and so that everyone, including you benefit with them as leader in the future.
