Community Based/Couples MatchAn adult-aged Big Brother or Big Sister gets to spend time and share activities with a child-aged Little Brother or Little Sister doing activities that they both enjoy together. Activities may include fishing, playing board games, baking cookies, or going to ball games. The Bigs and Littles get to enjoy these fun times together on their own schedule at least two times per month.
Couples Match is the same but offers the opportunity for spouses to share the mentoring experience together. Sister PowerThrough the Sister Power Program, Big Sisters with their Little Sisters, who are between the ages of 13 and 18, and currently enrolled in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Community Based Program, will be able to come together as a group to talk about and experience programs and activities that will create healthy, smart, strong, and empowered active girls and women.
