Become a Big Brother or Big Sister. As school-based mentors, volunteers provide children individualized time and attention consistently at the child’s school. Volunteers and children meet regularly during the school year – typically, each week – using the resources available, such as computer labs and the schoolyard. Whether playing board games, shooting hoops or simply talking, time spent on building this relationship promotes a positive attitude and academic enrichment.
