Programs
COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING
Mentors (Bigs) spend four to six hours per month with a child (Little) out in the community. With the parent's consent, Bigs and Littles do activities that they both enjoy like going to sporting events, crafts, watching a movie, and more!
SITE-BASED FACILITATED
Partnering with Ashley Elementary and Cook Literacy Model School, we provide group mentoring to select groups of students. Mentors from Winston-Salem State University meet with students once a week or bi-weekly to build friendships and help their social and emotional growth. This opportunity is open to college and adult mentors.
Virtual Mentoring
Virtual mentoring is being utilized to meet the needs of our current and new matches during COVID-19. Matches connect online through video chat, emailing, and phone calls each week to get to know each other and build their relationship.
SCHOOL-BASED
Littles enjoy having their Bigs meet with them once a week at school during lunch or an agreed upon time.
CLUB OF UNMATACHED LITTLES
The Club of Unmatched Littles (C.O.U.L.) typically has more than 100 children who are waiting to be matched in our Community-Based program. They are being served by team members and group enrichment activities at Big Brothers Big Sisters Mentoring Center.
CROSBY BIGS FOR SUCCESS
We partner with Crosby Scholars and the Best Choice Center after school program to have high school Crosby Bigs meet with their Littles once a week after school. This program allows high schoolers to build trusting relationships to ignite the potential in their Littles.
