Duties

Make a meaningful impact in a child’s life – become a mentor today!

Description of Duties:

As a Volunteer Mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters, you’ll be matched with a young person (ages 6–16) to provide friendship, support, and guidance through regular one-on-one visits. Your role is to build a consistent and trusting relationship that helps your mentee develop confidence, resilience, and life skills.

Community-Based Mentoring:

• Commit to spending 2–4 hours per week with your mentee for a minimum of one year.

• Plan fun, low-cost outings based on shared interests (e.g., playing sports, going for walks, cooking, visiting local attractions).

• Act as a consistent and caring role model.

• Maintain regular communication with program staff for support and match monitoring.

In-School Mentoring:

• Visit your mentee for 1 hour each week during school hours (September to June).

• Engage in non-academic activities such as board games, crafts, or conversation in a supervised school setting.

• Focus on building self-esteem, emotional well-being, and social skills.

• Follow school guidelines and BBBS program standards.

All mentors receive training, ongoing support, and resources from our experienced team. No special skills required—just a desire to make a difference!
