Needs From: United Way of Utah County

Volunteer: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah-Community Based Mentoring

COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING

Our community-based mentoring program matches volunteers (adults at least 18 years old) with resilient kids who are facing some challenging circumstances and want to have a mentor. The mentoring “Match” (meaning the volunteer mentor, or “Big” and the child/youth or “Little”) meet two to four times a month. The match spends quality time with one another doing activities that are parent/guardian-approved and that work towards the youth development goals set with the Little. The minimum volunteer commitment is one year. Activities of the match can be a wide variety of things, but we encourage low-or-no cost, one-to-one activities that support positive outcomes for the Little. As with all programs Bigs, Littles and parents/guardians receive on-going support from our staff to help along the way.
