Youth in our community have an abundance of potential - they just need someone in their corner to help them realize it! There are hundreds of kids in New Mexico who are waiting for a mentor who will stand with them and help them ignite their potential.
Big Brothers Big Sisters exists to create positive change in our community by matching youth with adult mentors to build powerful friendships. Volunteers tell us that being a mentor is one of the best experiences that they have ever had. It’s also not as time consuming as they thought it would be.
In the Community-Based program;
- We ask that mentors see their mentees for at least four hours each month and commit to volunteering for at least a year.
- Outings can be similar to activities that you would do with your friends: Go to the movies, play board games, go out to eat, or just hang out. It’s that simple!
- You are not alone in this process! Your Big Brothers Big Sisters’ Match Support Specialist and a network of volunteers will be there with resources, opportunities and support.
Interview, training, and background check will be required.
