Discover how becoming a mentor can positively impact a child’s life. Mentorship programs, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Florida, strive to match kids who are lacking in self-confidence with adults who are ready to be a friend. There are volunteer opportunities to fit any schedule. If weekends or afternoons are flexible, then the Community Based Program is perfect for the mentor who wants to bring a child to a park or out fishing. Or make the most of a lunch hour by spending it with a child at his or her school, quietly reading in the library or playing a game of Scrabble, through the School Based Program.
