    Description

    As a School-Based Big, you’ll meet with your Little at school for about 30 minutes during lunch or before/after school hours, with just a couple of visits a month during the school year to make a big impact. Spend time eating, reading together, doing homework, playing games, or just talking-offering encouragement and friendship in a familiar setting. With a flexible schedule and a simple commitment, you can help a student build confidence and reach their potential!
