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. Matches participate in everyday activities such as just hanging out and doing everyday activities like shooting hoops, going on walks/nature walks, playing video games, arts and crafts, and much more. BBBSNHVT hosts dedicated activities throughout the year for our mentoring matches.
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.
