Freshmen, sophomores and juniors are invited to join Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley to become a “Big” and befriend a “Little” in need of an extra positive role model and mentor. The mentoring program is where a volunteer high school student (Big) is matched with an elementary school student (Little) to develop a friendship and be a role model. A Big completes an application and enrollment interview and is paired with a Little at one of the elementary schools.

You will meet once a week with your Little 2-2:45 p.m. During their time together, Bigs and Littles will play games, help with schoolwork and engage in conversation.

Give your name to the counseling office if interested.
