Serves children ages 7-21 by matching them with a caring, positive adult role model. The child and mentor meet in the community and spend time doing different activities they both enjoy and/or interact on any video conferencing platform that is not observable by BBBS. The Big and Little commit to meeting for a minimum of 4 hours in 2-4 outings per month for a minimum of twelve months. Mentors can be a Big Brother, Big Sister or a Big Couple. (Married couple or 2 individuals in a committed relationship for 3 or more years who currently live together.)

The following programs are part of the Community Based Mentoring program and serve a specific population of children:

-- Juvenile Justice - Youth in this program have had some contact with the juvenile justice system (delinquency court appearance, parole intake or actual arrest) and can benefit from a friend and role model who helps guide them as they work towards making better choices.

-- Mentoring Children of Prisoners - The children in this program have one or both parents currently incarcerated. Bigs in this program can help just by being their friend and giving stability to that youth.

-- Latino Mentoring - Children in this program have Latino heritage and may have Spanish speaking parents, and may prefer a Spanish speaking mentor. These matches are supported by bilingual Big Brothers Big Sisters' staff members.

-- Foster Care - Youth in foster care placements have interpersonal, developmental challenges and are vulnerable as they transition into adulthood. These youth can benefit from a friend and role model who helps guide them as they work towards making healthy choices.

-- LGBTQ+ - The agency recognizes the unique challenges facing the youth of the LGBTQ community. 1-to-1 mentoring can help LGBTQ+ youth confront these challenges and promote positive personal and educational outcomes.
