Site Based Programs

Meet your Little at school.
It may sound obvious, but sometimes the best place to help a child realize their potential is at school. Kids enjoy having their Bigs meet with them there, whether it’s in the classroom or on the playground. And parents and guardians know what a positive impact it makes.

How it works

  • Meet your Little at their school (or site)

  • Connect with them approximately once a week

  • Have fun!

Why Site-Based?

It’s teacher-approved: Some of the biggest supporters of our Site-Based Mentoring Program are actually teachers. They see students come back from their time with their Big filled with confidence, smiling big, ready to learn and eager to succeed.

Learning about life: Although it takes place at schools or other sites, our Site-Based Mentoring Program isn’t limited to the classroom. Of course, some Littles do talk with their Bigs about class or do homework or read together, but it’s perfectly fine to shoot hoops in the gym or play cards. At the end of the day, it’s really all about starting a friendship, providing guidance and inspiring them to reach their potential.

Who are Site-Based Programs good for?

  • College students
  • Older adults
  • Adults who live or work near a participating school or site (you could see your Little during lunch!)
