BBBSLI makes meaningful, professionally supported 1-to-1 matches between adult volunteers (’Bigs’) and children ages 7-16 (’Littles’), positively impacting the lives of families across Long Island.
All volunteer mentors are interviewed, screened and trained, and BBBSLI provides every match with a professional program team member to monitor the relationship during its entirety. The Big, Little, and his/her Parent/Guardian make a one-year commitment to the match relationship. Mentors and mentees agree to meet a minimum of a few hours throughout the month enjoying low to no-cost activities.
