Make a BIG difference!
Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs are proven to help kids overcome adversity and become productive members of society. They can't do it without YOU. Every child is unique with their own personality, background and interest; which means they need mentors who they can truly connect with on a personal level!
Mentoring is free. You can do everything that you would do normally, just invite your Little! Changing the oil on your car? Invite your Little. Baking today? Invite your Little. Treat them as you would your family. Every meeting time doesn't have to be trips to the zoo or spending money, but rather making connections together and learning crucial life skills.

Programs
Heart of Iowa Big Brothers Big Sisters offers two different programs to connect students to adult mentors.
Community-Based Program - Community Based matches meet on weekends and throughout the week doing fun things like watching sporting events, volunteering, or walking in the park. In addition, support with school projects and other extra-curricular activities becomes a large part of each relationship. Community Based “Bigs” must be at least 18 years of age.
School-Based Program - School Based matches spend time at school for 45 minutes or so each week playing educational games, reading together or just talking about what’s on the child’s mind. School-Based “Bigs” must be at least 16 years of age. We work with Marshalltown, West Marshall, and BCLUW school districts.
