Make a positive impact that you can see with local youth who struggle with numbers!

Our Mentoring With Math Program aims to support families who are not otherwise able to financially pursue academic support opportunities outside of school.

This program is designed to strengthen the impact of tutoring by adding in the element of mentorship. Learning from a Mentor as a positive role model encourages self-esteem and confidence-building for the Mentees as they work through math problems together. Snacks, math workbooks, and other supplies are provided.

Our volunteers are of all genders and come from diverse backgrounds. We are looking for all adults 18+ to fill these volunteer positions. Both in-person and virtual options available.

Benefits:

Have fun, de-stress, and feel like a kid again! We organize fun activities year-round like water-skiing, sailing, and wall-climbing. Whenever possible, our organization provides activity ideas and free tickets and admission vouchers to Big and Little Brothers. As a volunteer, you can make a positive impact on the community, gain a sense of personal reward and fulfillment by contributing to a child’s self-esteem, develop a more positive attitude, which leads to greater productivity at work and makes a new friend.
