| Ways to help |
Become a BigOur community-based program is our traditional match in which adult mentors are paired with children ages 7-12, and agree to see each other for three hours, a couple of times a month. Mentor 2.0 is a technology-enriched one-to-one youth mentoring program directly targeting high school students. Mentor-mentee pairs build their relationships through weekly online communication and monthly in-person meetings. |

| Items we need now |
Volunteer MentorsAs the long term impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic play out in our youth, mentoring is needed now more than ever. With a waitlist that hovers at just under 100 (75% boys), the need for volunteers is on-going. The commitment is simple, a few times twice a month, for a minimum of a year is all it takes to make a lasting impact on the life of a child--and your own.

| How you help | You don’t need super-powers to be someone’s hero…you just need to be you, and be there! Right now, young kids all over the Cape are looking for someone to be a mentor, a guide, a friend- someone who can help them reach their potential. That someone could be you- and it could be the most rewarding thing you’ve ever done. |

Our luck came a day early between our St. Patrick's Day office happy hour yesterday, and then doubled when Chairman of the @BBBSA Board of Directors, Mike Carrel, stopped by to say hi! Happy St. Patrick's Day, and Evactuation Day!
@MarkEODonnell @AtriCureCEO
Impactful day with the changemakers at @emassbigs and their transformational leader @MarkEODonnell. It was fun to meet the team members who are helping to empower the next generation every day!
Our team had an amazing time at the @nsbeboston Inspire STEM Gala! They listened to beautiful speeches, made great connections, and got to see many awards and scholarships given out to youth. Thank you, NSBE for having us, we're grateful to be a partner!
Boston Festival Orchestra is partnering with our Mentor2.0 team at EMK to bring music and connection to our matches! BFO provided 2 musicians to play live music and lead a discussion on how music can be used to celebrate creativity and connect with emotions.
