Our School-Based program allows a volunteer to visit their Little at their school for up to an hour each week. Our program is offered in various schools in Knox, Blount, Anderson, Loudon, Scott and Sullivan counties. The mentor and child can visit in the library to work on homework or improve reading skills, play on the playground or eat lunch together in the cafeteria. Teachers are flexible to fit the volunteer's schedule, confident that the relationship will positively improve the child's educational experience.

A Big can help a child discover a world of possibilities and opportunities simply by being a genuine friend. And our volunteers consistently say that being part of a BBBS match is even more enjoyable and fulfilling for them than it is for their Littles.
