Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Laurel Region: Our Programs

Community-Based Mentoring Program:

This is our core program that matches an adult volunteer “Big” with a child “Little” in a one-to-one relationship. The “Big” serves as a positive role model, offering friendship, support, and guidance, as well as exposure to new opportunities to help strengthen and broaden the horizons of the “Little”, thereby assisting he/she in becoming a productive adult in his/her community.

Site-Based Mentoring Programs:

Breakfast Buddies: Volunteers have breakfast with elementary students in a one-to-one mentoring relationship in local schools. The volunteer provides friendship and guidance during the elementary student’s lunchtime, at least once a week
Lunch Buddies: Volunteers have lunch with elementary students in a one-to-one mentoring relationship in local schools. The volunteer provides friendship and guidance during the elementary student’s lunchtime, at least once a week.
After-School Tutoring:Volunteers tutor elementary students in a one-to-one mentoring relationship in local schools. The volunteer provides friendship and guidance after school, at least once a week, while assisting the child with schoolwork.
