Community Based Mentoring Program:
Adult volunteers are paired with a child
between the ages of 6-14 and meet at least
four hours a month over the course of a year
enjoying everyday activities on their own
schedule while becoming friends.
School Based
Mentoring: Volunteer mentors meet
one-one-one with a child at one of the local
elementary or middle schools for about an
hour one day a week throughout the school
year enjoying more structure activities like
reading, playing games, doing crafts, or
simply talking over lunch.
High School
Mentoring Programs: Junior and
Senior level high school students earn
community service hours and gain valuable
life skills serving as tutors/mentors to
elementary and middle school children.
Mentors meet one-on-one with their Little
one or two days a week during the school day
or in one of the after school programs.
Couples Match:
Married couples can become mentors to a
child in the Big Brothers Big Sisters
Program and will meet at least four hours a
month over the course of a year enjoying
everyday activities on their own schedule
while becoming friends.
PALS Outings:
PALS Outings are designed to give children
ready to be matched in the Big Brother Big
Sisters program an opportunity to experience
a variety of fun activities while they are
waiting for mentors to call their own.
Groups of volunteers take groups of children
from the waiting list on an occasional
outing. Groups can range in size from 3-10,
depending on the number of adult volunteers
available to take the children. This is a
perfect opportunity for Service Groups,
Church Groups, and other organizations to
become involved with Big Brothers Big
Sisters on an occasional basis. Past PALS
outings have included attending Columbus
Destroyer Football games, fishing trips,
field trips to farms, and baseball games.
Mentoring for
Children of Prisoners: This
special program is for children of prisoners
and provides several hours a month of
one-on-one mentoring time with boys and
girls whose parents are incarcerated.
