Enrolling a Child in a School Based Mentoring Program
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Ohio offers a school mentoring program to elementary
schools throughout Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties. The purpose of the program is to help
grade school children develop positive attitudes towards school, build self-esteem and have fun
while improving their social skills and natural abilities.
The school mentoring program is available to children in grades 3-5.
How the Programs Work
Children are recommended into a school program by their teachers, counselor or parents.
The school will send home an informational letter and application to the child’s parent/guardian.
Or, parents may download an application packet directly by clicking on the button to the below.
The completed application should be returned to the school, or may be mailed directly to the Big
Brothers Big Sisters office; and the child’s name will be added to the program.
Each school mentoring program meets one day each week, typically for two hours after regular
school hours. The day of the program and the time (usually 3:00 – 5:00) are determined by the
school. There are no school programs on Friday. ALL volunteers are to come directly to the
elementary school to which they are assigned. They must provide their own transportation.
No fees
There are no fees associated with our school mentoring program. The program is free to all
children enrolled. Big Brothers Big Sisters provides all materials for activities and crafts. We also
provide a snack and drink to each child.
