Programs

Big Brothers Big Sisters provides a variety of programs, partnerships and services for our Bigs and Littles. Please refer to the listing below for a description of services or call (505) 326-1508.

Community Based Programs

Community-based mentoring is the traditional Big Brothers Big Sisters relationship. Bigs and Littles get together on their own to share fun activities they both enjoy. Our Littles are between 6 and 14 years of age.  Each 1-to-1 relationship is supported by a case manager responsible for supervision.

School Based Program

Volunteers are matched with a young person and visit participating schools on a time that fits their schedules. Time commitment is once-a -week for the academic year. During the time spent together the two can have personal discussions, do homework, play games, or use the time however needed. An on-site BBBS case manager oversees the program and provides support. By providing 1 hour a week in a school the child benefits from regular contact and you are helping a child improve their school performance and aiding them with social development.

Adopt - A - School

Our corporate mentoring programs are partnerships between local corporations and Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Juan County (BBBSSJC), 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 BBBSSJC 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.

A special thanks to our participating companies; BP America , ConocoPhillips ,
Wood Group , & Raytheon .

Site Based Partnership

In a partnership developed between BBBS, Farmington Boys & Girls Club, and Navajo Preparatory School we were able to match over 20 elementary school students in the Boys & Girls Club after school program with college bound high school students from Navajo Preparatory School.

A new partnership with Kirtland Youth Association (KYA) and BBBS allows our volunteers to mentor at thier wonderful facilities. Currently 16 matches use this facility.
