Big Futures connects students with mentors who show up during the school day, meeting for lunch at least twice a month. Through a consistent one to one relationship, students build confidence, connection, and a sense of what’s possible. One relationship at a time. Everyone is welcome.
Abby, you were a great mentor this year and I had lots of fun with you! Hope to see you next year! Pet Louie for me!
Dear Kyle, When we did The pasta tower it was soo fun and we both like snow boarding. I will see you next year
Thanks for all the fun times we had. The lava lamp was the best also I scored my first goal!
This program provides consistency for our young people and helping hands during school time.
This feels like the most important work that I have done all year.
When you volunteer as a mentor with Big Futures, you’ll visit your Little at school during their lunch period, at least twice a month, on a schedule that works for you. Most of your time together is simple, unstructured relationship-building: eating lunch, talking, getting to know each other. Once a quarter, BBBSPS staff host an on-site Future Ready Youth activity, bringing mentors and students together for a shared, facilitated experience that builds on the connection you’re forming one on one.
The key to successful mentoring relationships is consistency. Mentors are expected to visit their Little at least twice a month and to clearly communicate in advance if they need to reschedule.
When you sign up to become a mentor in Big Futures, you’ll go through a series of steps that will help us match you with a Little.
