Sports Buddies
Do you love sports and fitness? Does your child? Do you enjoy sharing the joy and benefits of sports with others? Consider becoming part of our Sports Buddies program happening every other Thursday!

Sports Buddies is a community-based mentorship program that matches adult volunteers ("Bigs") with youth ("Littles") who have a shared interest in sports, fitness, or just being active. We know that sports of various kinds - organized and recreational - promote physical and emotional health, as well as a sense of community. But they're also a great way to form positive, empowering relationships.

Each Sports Buddies match engages in fun and positive activities that inspire the Little to envision - and realize - their potential. Examples of activities include rock climbing, kick-ball, shooting hoops, and more.
​
Sports Buddies mentors must be at least 18 years of age, have access to reliable transportation! Mentors do not have to be athletes or have any experience in organized sports. As with all of our community-based programs, interested mentors must complete an application and screening interview, provide references, and successfully pass a criminal background check and driving records check. 
​
We have a particular need for male mentors to become Big Brothers in our Sports Buddies program. Consider volunteering as a Sports Buddies mentor today!
