Child Enrollment Inquiry

Programs

Community-Based Mentoring
Community-Based Mentoring involves sharing activities with your Little Brother or Sister anywhere in the community. Mentors must be 18 or older. However, we are not currently accepting new Littles for the Community Based program.  If you have any questions about our program or to check on the status of your inquiry please contact Lauren Carollo at 731-2227

 
School/Site-Based Mentoring
In Site-Based Mentoring matches meet on the campus of the child’s school or other community location during the school day. Together, they work on homework, play games in the gym, run around on the playground, hang out in the library, or take advantage of any other activities that the school might offer. In this program, matches meet for one hour a week, every week, for at least one school year. Mentors must be at least a Freshman in high school.

We are currently matching Littles at the following schools:

Lois Craig Elementary School

Quannah McCall Elementary School

Matt Kelly Elementary School

Booker Elementary School

CT Sewell Elementary School

Paul Culley Elementary School

Studies show that matched Little Brothers and Little Sisters are:

• 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs

• 27% less likely to begin using alcohol

• 52% less likely to skip school

• 37% less likely to skip a class

• more confident of their school work performance

• 1/3 less likely to hit someone and

• getting along better with their families
