We Make a BIG Difference for Lake Area Kids

Lake Area Big Brothers Big Sisters is a mentoring program that helps local children between the ages of 6 and 14. Spending just an hour per week with a child who needs an adult role model can be life changing for the child ... and for you.

MALE MENTORS NEEDED

Our community based mentoring program is looking for male mentors!  Bigs/Mentors pick up their Littles and spend time with them once a week for about an hour doing things they already enjoy doing like hiking, going to lunch, fishing, or hitting a bucket of golf balls. Bigs work to change the perspectives of children and give them an opportunity to achieve great things. Learn how to get involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lake of the Ozarks at lakebbbs.org. or call Alison Martin Program Coordinator (573) 348-5507 or email alison.martin@lakebbbs.org


"LUNCH BUDDIES"

School Based Mentoring The lunch buddies’ program is designed to match students at School of the Osage Upper Elementary with an adult who truly cares about and will encourage the child’s success.

We ask “Bigs” to meet with their “Littles” once a week during the school year. The meetings only take place on school grounds. Matches can play games, talk 1:1, or occasionally work on homework.

You get to be a positive adult role model to a child in your community for an entire school year by just talking and spending time with them during their lunchtime.
