In site-based mentoring programs, Bigs and Littles meet for one-to-one mentoring in the child's school or alternative after-care setting. Bigs and Littles typically meet once a week to read together, play sports or computer games, or simply talk about life and personal issues – just as friends do.

Site-based mentoring is not a tutoring program. However, research has shown that of all children matched with a Big in school:

• 58% improved their school performance
• 65% showed higher levels of self-confidence
• 55% had a better attitude toward school

Site-Based Opportunites:

• Corporate Mentoring Program: Employees from local companies mentor children at their school or at their work site one hour each week or every other week.

• High School Mentoring Program: High School Bigs meet with elementary or middle school Littles one hour per week after school.

• Delbarton Program: Juniors and Seniors at Morristown's Delbarton School meet with their Little Brothers on campus every other Sunday during the school year.

• Mentoring Children of Prisoners Program: Mentoring children with an incarcerated parent  one hour per week or every other week after school.
