Mission: Is to help children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships. Vision: Is successful mentoring relationships for all children who need and want them, contributing to brighter futures, better school, and stronger communities for all.

Our agency provides two distinct one-to-one youth mentoring programs:

Community Based Program

Volunteers (Bigs) and children (Littles) are matched one-to-one, spending two to three hours per week together several times each month. Activities could include going to the park, riding bikes, watching movies or playing games.

School Based Program

Bigs and Littles meet one hour a week during the school year in on-site programs at nine local elementary schools. Bigs and Littles share friendship and fun, play games and work on homework.
