Be a Big Sister in a local elementary school!

For women 18 and older: This one-to-one mentoring program matches girls in elementary school with women mentors.  Matches meet once a week at the Little Sister’s school or at an after-school site.  Weekly visits are 45 minutes to an hour for one academic school year. In the Back Bay area we have School-Based Mentoring at the local Quincy Elementary School, Quincy Upper School, Ellis Memorial After-School Program, and Red Oak After-School !

School-Based mentors are not teachers or tutors; they are caring and consistent friends.  They do arts and crafts, shoot hoops in the gym, read books, or simply share stories over lunch.  Each match independently determines how best to spend their time together, and Big Sister staff are always available to provide activity ideas and support.
