Mentorship

The Think Big Mentor Program is a free Program for children and youth ages 5-18. Our goal is to provide these children & their families with connections to community resources & support them in successful peer & family relationships. Children in the Think Big youth Mentor program will be matched with a caring adult mentor. Children may choose to participate on their own free will, or children can also be referred to the program by their parents or guardians, friends, schools, county agencies, community & religious organizations.

Why Mentor?

Mentors can be an added support to youths and their families. Mentors can help with homework; engage in indoor/outdoor activities and provide support with problems in school or at home. All mentors enrolled in the Mentor Program are screened, given background & finger print checks, and receive ongoing training and support.

Parental Engagement

We deeply involve families in all of our programming. We engage our parents through 1-on-1 meetings during our intake process, and then we maintain regular contact with parents through progress reports, phone calls, and home visits. We also host monthly family nights, workshops and community outreach to give parents an opportunity to meet other families, share experiences, and develop peer networks.

• Be 18 years of age or older
