Teaming Up With Youth
Teaming Up With Youth will return in Midland and Bay Counties in Fall of 2023. We are currently looking for Bigs 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!
How It Works
- A Teaming Up With Youth volunteer (Big) is matched with a student (Little) in an elementary school or other site. These students are referred to our program by a teacher or other school personnel.
- The Big and Little work together on tasks in a fun, relaxed setting.
- Bigs and Littles meet on the same day and at the same time each week for a minimum of one school year.
- A Big Brothers Big Sisters Match Coordinator is on location at each Teaming Up With Youth site to assist as needed.
- All Teaming Up With Youth Bigs and Littles will be expected to follow health and safety guidelines set by the school.
