Lunchbox
Learners
After a two year pivot to virtual mentoring, we are pleased to announce that Lunchbox Learners will return in person in Midland and Bay Counties in Fall of 2022. We are currently accepting volunteer applications for this program, however, we are still sorting out the details of what schools will be participating this year. If you’re interested in being a Big for this powerful program, please fill out an application, and a match coordinator will be in touch to keep you posted on new developments.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
How It Works
- A Lunchbox Learners volunteer (Big) is matched with a student (Little) at their elementary school. These students are referred to our program by a teacher or other school personnel.
- The Big and Little meet to read and work on homework.
- Bigs meet with their Little at the Little’s school on the same day and at the same time each week for the duration of the school year.
- A Big Brothers Big Sisters Match Coordinator will be on location to assist as needed.
- All Lunchbox Learners volunteers undergo a background screening, including a criminal background check, reference checks and an interview with a Big Brothers Big Sisters Match Coordinator.
- All Lunchbox Learners Bigs and Littles will be expected to follow health and safety guidelines set by the school.
