What volunteer options are available?
BBBS of Washington County offers three mentoring programs, Community-Based, School-Based and Site-Based. A Community-Based mentor is an adult volunteer who is matched one-to-one with a child that they meet twice a month for at least a period of a year. The match shares interests together through simple activities in the community. Individuals, couples or families can volunteer as a Community-Based mentor. A School-Based mentor is an adult volunteer who is matched one-to-one with a child at an elementary or middle school located in Washington County. The match enjoys academic and recreational activities once a week during the child’s lunch period for the length of a school year. Our Site-Based progam, GuyZone, is for male matches only. A GuyZone mentor is matched one-to-one with a boy in middle school. They meet once a week (Wednesdays) in the Buddies Den at Badger Middle School from 3:30-5:00pm.
We offer two programs, community-based and site-based, with varying time commitments and scheduling options. Community-based mentoring offers flexible scheduling and the opportunity for you and a child to explore the community and your mutual interests. Site-based mentoring allows you to meet with a child at one of our school mentoring sites at the same time each week. On-site staff help plan your activities, which all take place at the site.
