This program engages high school students as peer mentors for younger youth. Current and past Littles can also be High School Bigs.
We partner with local school districts and colleges to give our youth an opportunity to be mentored on campus and learn what college is like!
School-Based Matches meet at the child's school or a designated location and spend their time together playing board games, doing arts & crafts, or chatting.
Here's where we learn all about you to find the perfect mentor!

Parents and guardians - this video is for you. It's a quick rundown of how the process works and how BBBS selects a mentor for your child.
Watch Video!
We'll sit down with you and your child - in person or virtually! - to really get to know your child and find the best mentor to fit their needs.
This will be updated with new required training information for youth and their parents when it is available.
Now's the fun part! This is where your child meets their mentor and starts doing all the fun activities, or they go on our wait list until the right Big comes along.

You've got everything done, but we're not going anywhere! Your program coordinator will continue to stay in touch with you after the interview process is completed and throughout your match.
