COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING

Community-Based Mentoring is the backbone
of our organization. This program is made up of meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”)
ages 7 through young adulthood
in the Ross, Pike, Pickaway, Fayette,​ and
Highland County communities.
These matches meet at least an average of
an hour per week and are centered around
relationship and character building. 

SCHOOL-BASED MENTORING

School-Based Mentoring pairs high school students (“Bigs”) and elementary/middle school students (“Littles”)
in one-to-one matches that meet ​once a week at school to participate in programming facilitated by our staff.
The curriculum is centered around personal development, relationships, team building activities, goal setting, etc.
Bigs earn community service credit and leadership skills while
​​Littles gain a positive role model and trusted friend.
2024-25 partner schools: Adena, Circleville, Waverly, Westfall, Unioto, Greenfield, Southeastern, Teays Valley, and Zane Trace.

READY TO BE MATCHED

 Our Ready To Be Matched (RTBM) list consists of enrolled Littles who are waiting on a Big.
Our goal is to have every child on our waitlist matched with a caring, consistent adult as soon as possible,
but while they are waiting our staff makes it a priority to get to know them and keep them involved
through participating in various activities and events.
