Many of our corporate partners support one-to-one mentoring relationships by allowing employees to provide valuable mentorship on an individual level. You can:

  • Advertise our programs through any newsletters, bulletin boards, or other intra-office communications
  • Provide paid volunteer hours that employees can utilize to be a mentor in one of our programs.
  • Allow employees to mentor during the work day at your own office. We currently work with Comcast, Discover, and Goldman Sachs for
    our Workplace Mentoring program. Contact [email protected] to learn what it takes
    to become a partner for this program.

Set Up a Clothing Drive

Support Big Brothers Big Sisters by having a clothing drive at your company. Your employees solicit bags of clothing and small household items for donation, then we schedule a day/week to pick up the donated goods. You can also place a barrel in your office for longer-term collection. Then we sell the goods to Savers thrift store and get a check based on the pounds of goods collected. Learn more here.
