Programs

Core (Community-Based) Program

Children are matched with a mentor who will build a friendship with them while doing things in the community. They will participate in activities that they enjoy, whether it is going to the park, going to a ballgame, going out to eat, learning to cook, building things, or any other fun activity. The purpose of BBBS is to help a child who needs a friend or a role model, become caring, competent, and independent individuals.
