Big Brothers Big Sisters of Erie County provides services to youth between the ages of 6-16 through five key programs:
| • Community-Based Mentoring: For as little as a few hours a month, Bigs and Littles meet in their community to share fun activities … stories … and a little bit of themselves. Learn more »

| • Site-Based Mentoring: Bigs and Littles meet once a week in schools, and community centers, to talk and have fun. It’s not about being a tutor … it’s about being a friend. Learn more » |

| • The Group Mentoring Program is designed to meet the needs of youth that would benefit from not only the attention and friendship of an adult role model, but also the social interaction provided through small group activities. Learn more » |

| • Mentoring Children of Prisoners Program: Across the United States, an estimated two million children, ages 5 to 18, have a parent who is incarcerated in a federal, state or local prison. Through this program children who are missing a special relationship with one or both parents due to incarceration, are matched with a carefully screened mentor. Under the supervision of a dedicated and professional staff, these children will experience the attention and friendship they need during this difficult time. Learn more » |
