Community-Based Mentoring involves sharing activities with your Little Brother or Sister anywhere in the community. Mentors must be 18 or older.

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.
