Big Brother Big Sisters of Central Carolinas – Site Based Programs

Traditional Site-Based Mentoring It may sound obvious but sometimes the best place to help a child realize their potential is at school. In our traditional Site-based program, Bigs visit their Little at school once each week during the school year. Typically, you have lunch, read, play a game, work on an assignment, or play on the playground together. These activities are teacher approved and aim to support academic achievement, social skills, and self-awareness. It’s Teacher-Approved Some of the biggest supporters of our school-based mentoring program are actually teachers. They see students come back from their time with their Bigs filled with confidence, ready to learn, and eager to succeed. Learning About Life Although it takes place at schools, our school-based mentoring program isn’t limited to the classroom. Of course, some Littles do talk with their Bigs about class, or do homework, or read together, but it’s perfectly fine to shoot hoops in the gym or play on the playground. At the end of the day, it’s really all about starting a friendship, providing guidance and inspiring your Little to reach to reach his or her full potential.
