You don't have to change your life to change theirs!

Bigs and Littles have great fun together - doing everything from bike riding and baking to movies and hockey.  But did you know what the impact of having a mentor is?  Research has shown that having a mentor in their lives has a long-lasting and positive impact on children.  Littles with a mentor are:

  • 52% less likely to skip school
  • 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
  • more likely to get along with family and peers
