Opportunity Details
Become a Mentor. Change a Life.
Do you remember someone who believed in you when you were young? Someone who listened, encouraged you and helped you to see your potential? Today, you can be that person for a young person in our Lehigh Vally community.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley (BBBSLV) is looking for caring and dependable adults (18+) to volunteer as one-on-one mentors local youth (ages 7 - 15). Mentors are "matched" (or paired) with a young person based on shared interests, personalities and goals to help build a meaningful and supportive friendship.
As a volunteer mentor, (or "Big") you'll spend time together with your Little (or mentee) 2 - 4 times each month, for 12 months, getting out into the community and doing simple, fun and low-cost activities you both enjoy. It's not about being perfect - it's about being present and consistent!
Activities might include:
-Getting ice cream
-Shooting basketball hoops
-Doing a simple craft
-Going for a walk or exploring a park
Bigs and Littles (along with the Little's family) will plan and coordinate activities together, making each match unique and tailored to what you both enjoy.
If you're ready to make a difference while having fun and building a meaningful connection, we invite you to step up and become a mentor today! Use this link (https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=25311935&calendarID=9644790) to schedule a brief conversation with a Big Brothers Big Sisters team member. Once you complete the enrollment process and are accepted, you'll be matched with a youth who can't wait to meet you.
