The community based program is traditionally what comes to mind first when you think of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Through this program, adults and children are matched based on geographic proximity, shared interests and are provided professional support from the Big Brothers Big Sisters Match Support team. Community based matches are encouraged to spend time together about once a week doing low-cost or free activities. This consistency promotes a healthy relationship which supports young people to build self-confidence, think about their future, and have lots of fun.
