High School Bigs Program
You don’t need any special skill to change a life. Just simply show up as you are.
EMPOWERING YOUTH THROUGH SHARED CONNECTION
Our High School Bigs program creates magic right in our area schools! In this innovative program, our agency partners with local school systems to match our Bigs (high school students) with Littles (elementary students) right in their district. Whether it’s a competitive board game in the library or getting creative with craft supplies, the time you spend together creates a ripple effect of confidence. You’re not just a mentor; you are the highlight of a child’s week, proving that you don’t have to go far to make a world of difference.
In our High School Bigs program, being a “Big” isn’t about being a perfect role model or a tutor; it’s about sharing your time and your authentic self with a younger student who looks up to you.
We believe that the best friendships happen naturally, which is why our program staff puts so much heart into the pairing process. By looking at everything from your favorite hobbies to your personality type, we ensure that you and your “Little” are set up for a great connection from day one.
Program Cost
Enrollment is free for both Bigs and Littles. Our agency provides activities for youth to enrich their time spent together. Thanks to the generous support of our community members, we receive donations of board games, craft supplies, and other indoor activities.
Time Commitment
In our High School Bigs Program, we ask that everyone is able to commit to at least one school year.
Location
The High School Bigs Program is currently offered at Grand Ledge Public Schools and Morrice Area Schools. Matches enrolled in this program are only permitted to meet at the elementary school during the scheduled meeting time.
