1-T0-1 MENTORING
The community-based program is our “traditional” mentoring program, where Bigs and Littles (or mentors and mentees) are matched in a one-to-one friendship based on interests, personalities, and geographic locations.
Forever Friendships
Proven Results
Volunteers are carefully screened and trained to create a positive impact by sharing their friendship, guidance, and support. Pairs meet at least twice per month for a couple of hours to spend quality one-on-one time together and form meaningful memories just by hanging out and doing everyday activities such as shooting hoops, going on walks/nature walks, playing video games, arts and crafts, and much more.
Mentors take the time to listen, encourage, and model positive behavior while doing these everyday activities. Each match is professionally supported by a Match Advisor who is there to support and advise Bigs and parents on this journey during monthly check-ins and consistent communication. BBBSNH hosts dedicated activities throughout the year as well for our mentoring matches
