Community-based mentoring - the goal of community based mentoring is to introduce youth to opportunities outside of their immediate environment. Matches participate in activities based on shared interests such as visiting a museum, participating in outdoor sports,cooking or crafting together, learning a new skill, visiting a college campus, or simply sharing a meal and talking. Each match is unique and develops a schedule of activities that works for them.

Site-based mentoring - although it takes place at schools, our site-based mentoring program isn't limited to the classroom. Some littles talk with their bigs about class, do homework, or read together others play board games, shoot hoops in the gym or play on theplayground. Along with providing academic support, this mentoring program provides friendship, guidance and inspires littles to reach their full potential.
