Big Brothers Big Sisters of Green County

Description

Community Based Mentoring matches adults with children in Green county with the expectation that they will meet consistently (weekly or bi-weekly) to create a long term mentoring relationship. School Based Mentoring is different from community based mentoring because this program takes place in a supervised setting at the school and focuses on academic need as well as social need. Elementary school children in grades 1 through 5 are matched to high school students as their mentors. The Lunch Buddy program matches adults willing to meet with a student over their lunch period at their school. They enjoy eating lunch together and sharing some time talking or doing other activities during recess.
