MENTORING PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS
Seeking Volunteers from 10th and 11th Grade!
Are you interested in volunteering your time to make a positive influence in the life of a child?
We are currently looking for incoming Sophomores and Juniors who are interested in learning
more about mentoring a younger student in the district. Our High School Bigs Mentoring
Program will take place on the campus of Williamsville North and Casey Middle School during
after-school hours on Thursdays throughout the school year.
Every Thursday (November-June)
3:30 pm – 4:45 pm
Casey Middle School
Mentoring pairs will meet and engage in scheduled activities led by a Big Brothers Big Sisters
staff member. The program will focus on creating positive relationships between the Big and
Little, while also engaging in activities that will support the younger student in developing the
attitudes and skills needed to be successful in the classroom and the community. High School
Students interested in volunteering must be willing to commit to staying engaged in the program
for the next two school years.
For more information about the program, or to enroll your child, please contact Lauren
Novara at Lauren.Novara@bbbsenst.org.
