School-Based Mentoring
It may sound obvious, but sometimes the best place to help a child realize their potential is at school. Kids enjoy having their Bigs meet with them there, whether it’s in the classroom or on the playground. And parents know what a positive impact it makes.
It’s teacher-approved.
Some of the biggest supporters of our School-Based Mentoring program are actually teachers. They see students come back from their time with their Big filled with confidence, smiling big, ready to learn and eager to succeed.
Learning about life.
School-bASED MENTORING PROGRAMS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BBBS SHOALS.
We have 3 School-Based mentoring programs in the Shoals area. We offer Red Bay Buddies Program partnered with Red Bay Schools in the Franklin County School Systems. This program has been going for quite sometime now. We also are in partnership with Sheffield City Schools to run our AIM High Mentoring Program. Find out more about the Sheffield City School System. And this year we added a new program in Russellville City Schools called the Golden Tiger BIGS.
Although it takes place at schools, our School-Based Mentoring program isn’t limited to the classroom. Of course, some Littles do talk with their Bigs about class, or do homework, or read together, but it’s perfectly fine to shoot hoops in the gym or play on the playground. At the end of the day, it's really all about starting a friendship, providing guidance and inspiring them to reach their full potential.
