BBBS MIAMI VALLEY

CHANGING LIVES FOR THE BETTER, FOREVER


We offer two core types of donor-funded programs: Community-Based and School-Based Mentoring. And no matter when a child enters a program, there’s no limit to where he or she can go.

We operate in communities accross the Miami Valley region - urban and rural, Big and Little. Our mentors work with children in the community, in their schools, on military bases, and many places in between. Our unique brand of one-to-one mentoring has a Big impact.


Our Impact

COMMUNITY-BASED

COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING


Bigs and Littles in the Community-based program go on one-to-one outings and activities, doing things they enjoy together, like:

  • Attending a Dayton Dragons game or other sporting event
  • Taking a walk in the park
  • Going to the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery or another museum
  • Hanging out and talking
  • Listening to music

Some Bigs meet their Littles on the weekends or in the evenings. Each match is unique and develops a schedule that works for them.

SCHOOL-BASED

SCHOOL-BASED MENTORING


Littles enjoy having their Big meet with them at school whether it’s in the classroom or on the playground. Bigs and Littles can enjoy school activities, like:

  • Working on homework
  • Read together
  • Shoot hoops in the gym
  • Play on the playground
  • Talk about what they’re doing in class

Teachers love to see Littles come back to class after spending time with their Big more confident, smiling, ready to learn, and eager to succeed.
