Become a Mentor
A Big commits to spending a few hours a month with their matched Little doing everyday activities - homework, sports, just hanging out - building a consistent, caring relationship over at least a year. Because it involves an ongoing one-on-one relationship with a minor, mentors must be adults (18+) and go through a background check and interview process. It is worth bookmarking for college or after graduation if you want deep, long-term mentoring impact.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
