Description
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwestern Illinois provides one-to-one mentoring services to at-risk youth, ages 6-18, living in Clinton, Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair counties. The agency provides two types of mentoring programs: School-Based and Community Based. School-Based matches meet with their mentors at the child's school on a weekly basis where the mentors promote an interactive and fun learning environment. Community based matches spend 10-12 hous per month doing various low-cost activities throughout the community.
