Mentoring Moms at Bigs & Littles NYC!

Bigs & Littles NYC | https://bigslittlesnyc.org/

*PLEASE NOTE: At this time, we are looking for female, Spanish-Speaking mentors for our Mentoring Moms program*

In 2019, Bigs & Littles NYC launched the "Mentoring Moms and Dads" Initiative, a program that strengthens youth outcomes and helps moms/dads increase their ability to accomplish personal goals around academic and/or career, strengthening relationships, and incorporating a healthier lifestyle for themselves and their families.

If you are interested in being a friend, guide and a support to a mother or guardian of a child in our Community-Based Mentoring Program, then this is the right volunteer opportunity for you!
