	Description The BBBS Big G mentorship program aims to create and strengthen intergenerational relationships through a one-to-one community or school based program. A mentee aged 6-18 is matched with a mentor aged 55+ based on mutual experiences and shared interests. The pair meet for 4-8 hours per month in the community or at the child’s school and build a healthy, caring relationship. This grandparent/child type relationship will also give you the opportunity to expand your network, increase your social connections and explore the community all while influencing the next generation to be the best they can be.
	Goal “Don’t overthink the commitment. The relationship created will fall into a natural and easy pace as the BBBS team works hard to make sure you are matched with a good fit! The relationship with your little doesn’t require grand gestures and big outings.”
