    Description

    Our recipe for meaningful 1:1 friendships starts with a great match between Bigs (mentors) and Littles (youth facing adversity) based on personality, interests, and preferences. As a Community-Based Big, you’ll spend time with your Little exploring the community or hanging out at home, doing fun, low-cost activities like going to the park, crafting, watching movies, playing sports or attending match events hosted by KSBBBS.

    With flexible scheduling (a few hours a month for a year), you can make a lasting impact in a way that fits your lifestyle. Volunteer as an individual, as a couple, or as a family-because mentorship is for everyone!
