Big Brothers And Big Sisters Of Metropolitan Milwaukee Inc

1) community-based mentoring (1:1 mentoring):youth engage weekly with volunteer mentors throughout the community and spend time together doing activities they choose based on mutual interest. Through community-based mentoring, youth experience a wide range of new, fun, and educational activities. In addition, youths build confidence, learn resiliency, and gain new perspectives regarding the role they play in our community.

2) school-based mentoring (1:1 mentoring): students engage with volunteer mentors weekly, during or after the school day, at one of partner elementary or middle school locations in milwaukee and waukesha counties (including seven milwaukee public schools) for educationally focused mentoring, including assistance with homework and enrichment activities that incorporate classroom concepts. 3) mentor2.0 (1:1 mentoring):mentor2.0 is a proven, technology-enriched mentoring program for high school students. It provides support and guidance, helping high school students graduate and succeed in both college and the workforce. Mentor2.0 combines in-person mentoring with safe, secure online communication and a comprehensive weekly curriculum focused on college and career readiness. 4) group facilitated mentoring (non 1:1 mentoring):group facilitated mentoring (gfm) is an addition to our program services to support more youth who are not matched in a one-to-one mentoring relationship. We offer gfm to elementary students where the focus is social emotional learning, college and career readiness for high school youth, and services for youth waiting for a mentor.
