Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central New Mexico

BBBS provides friendships between children from ages 6-14 with positive role models.

Youth in our community have an abundance of potential - they just need someone in their corner to help them realize it! There are hundreds of kids in Central New Mexico who are waiting for a mentor who will stand with them and help them ignite their potential!

Big Brothers Big Sisters exists to create positive change in our community by matching youth with adult mentors to build powerful friendships. Volunteers tell us that being a mentor is one of the best experiences that they have ever had. It’s also not as time consuming as they thought it would be.

Our Mentor 2.0 program is for those 21+ and who hold an associates degree or equivalent work experience (or higher). You will be matched at either Amy Biehl High School or South Valley Academy!

Here are some things to think about:

• We ask that mentors email/message their mentees at least once a week and commit to volunteering for at least a year.
• You will meet your mentee once every 4-6 weeks at their school for a pizza dinner and programming during the school year.
• You are not alone in this. Your Big Brothers Big Sisters’ case manager and a network of volunteers will be there with resources, opportunities and support.

Interview, training, & background check will be required.
