Mentor3.0

Post-Secondary Support for mentor2.0 graduates. 

All young people need guidance, encouragement, decision-making support, and a feeling of accountability as they transition into adulthood and the world of post-secondary education – whether college, high-quality post-secondary option like community college or a certificate program.  For more resourced students, their support often comes from college-educated parents or personal networks of similar peers and families. Big Brothers Big Sisters is closing the gap for our students, the vast majority of whom will be the first generation in their families to attain higher education.
