Do you know a female youth in need of a mentor?

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee (BBBS) is currently accepting applications for girls ages 6-12 looking for a mentor. Our mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.

During the match process, children and families identify needs, goals and expectations for the mentoring relationship. Our staff carefully evaluates each child and volunteer, using criteria such as location, interests, personality, experiences and preferences to create a mentoring match.

We recruit volunteers throughout our community, from colleges and universities, corporations and community events. All potential volunteers undergo multiple levels of screening and attend orientation and training before committing to a minimum two-year mentoring relationship.

Every child, volunteer mentor and parent /guardian in our program receives customized support, coaching and supervision from professionally trained support staff. Regular communication help matches and families build strong, healthy mentoring relationships that help children reach their full potential.

BBBS measures and evaluates outcomes for every child and every mentoring match in our program and we are committed to the continuous improvement of our program. We partner with parents/guardians, volunteers and others in the community and hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program achieving:
• Educational success – “Education Matters” is Big Brothers Big Sisters programming that supports educational goals, advancement to the next grade level and ultimately, high school graduation.
• Higher aspirations, greater confidence and better relationships
• Avoidance of risky behaviors and developing healthy habits
