A
Sampling of Our Programs:
1. Our core
program, the community- based One-to-one program, is specifically
designed for volunteers able to spend a couple of hours a couple
of times a month for a year or more. This program helps children
and youths face challenges in their lives, simply by having an adult
friend. Over the years we have served hundreds of island children.
This is Big Brothers Big Sisters signature program and is proven
to offer the greatest impact.
National
research has shown that positive relationships between youth and
their Big Brothers and Big Sisters mentors have a direct and measurable
impact on children's lives. By participating in our youth mentoring
programs, Little Brothers and Sisters are:
•
More confident in their schoolwork performance
•
Able to get along better with their families
•
46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
•
27% less likely to begin using alcohol
•
52% less likely to skip school.

2. In our Early
Bird Breakfast Buddies Program high school seniors meet their
elementary school "Breakfast Buddy" twice a week for
breakfast, board games and conversation. Over the years, we have
mentored hundreds of children and youths - and served them thousands
of pancakes.
