Big Brothers Big Sisters at Princeton (BBBS Princeton) matches students (“Bigs”) with local elementary and middle school children (“Littles”), meeting one-on-one, once a week for an hour at one of numerous partner schools near campus. When you become a Big, you become a friend and mentor – building interpersonal and leadership skills while fostering a relationship that can last a lifetime. Meetings either happen at lunch time or after school for the Little, and together you can play games, do arts and crafts, talk about life, among other activities! BBBS Princeton is not only a great way to volunteer in the surrounding community but also create meaningful, empowering connections with the youth.
