Peer Mentoring is a program designed specifically for High School students. Students in grade 12 who are interested in becoming Mentors complete a screening process and Teen Safety training with BBBS staff. Students in the grade 10 class are referred to the program by their school. Grade 12 and grade 10 students are matched one-on-one based on their interests and personalities. Matched pairs meet every week on school property, usually during lunch break, and spend that time together playing sports, sharing interests or just hanging out and talking. The goal of the program is to increase self-esteem and encourage healthy decision making in the students being Mentored. It's a great chance for both students involved to have fun and be a friend.... and Big Brothers Big Sisters is there to support them every step of the way! Volunteering is a great way to build your resume. Call Sallie 902-843-3969 for more info or complete the application form below.
