Resources for Mentors
We know that kids who have a Big do better in school, are less likely to use drugs and alcohol and have more positive relationships. To ensure the best outcomes for our Littles, our job is to provide ongoing supervision and support.
In addition to the Big Brothers Big Sisters training (online and in-person) that our mentors already have participated in, we recommend the following resources.
Mentoring During a Pandemic
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin (BBBSNEW) takes the health and safety of its Bigs and Littles very seriously. For BBBSNEW’s guidelines on best practices for Bigs and Littles to connect, go to BBBSNEW. Pandemic Guidelines 4 One Page to download our guideline recommendations.
BBBSNEW BIGS Tool Box Facebook Page
BBBSNEW has launched a NEW Facebook page designed for Bigs to be their “Go-To” resource for activities, events and ideas that they can share with their Little. This is a “Private” Facebook page for Bigs of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin only.
BBBSNEW will post daily and weekly REACH activities, deals for Bigs and Littles, teen activities, pics of past BBBSNEW events and ideas for places to see and go with your little. By visiting the page you’ll get the most current information on “Things To Do” with your Little!
Only BBBSNEW Bigs who are members of this page can see who’s in the group and what they post. If you haven’t received an email invitation, please email your Program Specialist.
