Mentoring through a Corporate Partnership

 

Our corporate mentoring programs are partnerships between Metro Atlanta corporations and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta, Inc. (BBBS), with the goal of creating mentoring friendships between corporate volunteers and children attending an elementary or middle school within close proximity of the corporate site. The corporate partner sponsors a mentoring program and works through BBBS to facilitate the program. Corporate employees serve as mentors in one-to-one relationships with children to provide adult friendship, academic encouragement, guidance, and social development. BBBS provides on-going support and supervision to the mentor, child, and parent. The program provides varying levels of participation. Ways to partner as mentors are as follows:

School-Based Programs 

School-based mentors spend one (1) hour per week with a student at a designated place and time during school hours. Mentors are welcome to attend school-wide events held throughout the year. The volunteer commitment is a minimum of one academic year.

Community-Based Programs 

Community-based mentors may work with the child one-on-one on or off the school campus. This allows the mentor to enjoy activities with his/her mentee in the evenings or on weekends. For those who opt to fully interact with their mentees outside of school, we ask that mentors spend time with their students at least twice per month. The volunteer commitment is a minimum of one calendar year.
