Bigs in Schools
During the school year, Big Brothers Big Sisters meet with their Little Brother or Little Sister at the child's school once a week for an hour after the school day has ended. Currently we have four "Bigs in Schools" programs in the mid-city area of San Diego. Sessions are after school hours, some start as late as 4:30 p.m.
Bigs in Schools focuses on building friendships, and through those friendships, stronger literacy and social skills are developed. This is not a tutoring program, but rather a chance for you to build a friendship in a fun environment, while reinforcing the importance of learning. This program is ideal for those that may only have an hour a week to volunteer.
The Bigs and Littles meet at the school library, school computer room, or on the playground to read together, play sports or computer games, or simply talk about life and personal issues - just as friends do.
Research has shown that of all children matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister in school:
