Community-Based Programs

Doing something important can be incredibly simple!

This is our traditional match, where adult mentors are paired with children ages 7-12 with the commitment to see each other two times per month for a few hours. Each match is hand-selected by our team based on shared interests, geography and personality. Big and Littles plan their own outings filled with things they enjoy doing, like sports, going to the beach or listening to music!
