Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Mississippi Valley (BBBSMV) has an urgent need for mentors — especially male mentors — with more than 200 local youth currently waiting for a Big. Our one-on-one mentoring programs connect caring adult volunteers with area youth, creating meaningful relationships that empower young people to reach their full potential.

BBBSMV provides mentoring environments that meet the needs of our Littles (youth) while offering flexibility for our Bigs (volunteers). Each Big Brothers Big Sisters match is thoughtfully planned to ensure compatibility, safety, and success, creating positive and memorable experiences for everyone involved.

Community-Based Program
Bigs and Littles meet out in the community, usually on evenings or weekends. Spending 6–10 hours per month together, matches explore the Quad Cities, enjoy free or low-cost activities, and try new things while building a lasting friendship.

School-Based Plus Program
Bigs meet with their Littles at a local elementary school, typically during the lunch or recess hour. About once a week, matches can share lunch, play games, read, work on projects, or enjoy recess together.

BBBSMV also offers monthly group activities for all Bigs and Littles — from developmentally focused outings for elementary students to Big Futures events that support career exploration and post–high school planning for middle and high school youth.

JA Finance Park® Mobile is a 3-4-hour immersive experience for middle school students. During the simulation, students will be assigned a hypothetical life scenario, including a career, spouse, children, and pets. Throughout the simulation, they will ‘research’ different budget categories through a series of volunteer-led group discussions and activities, and will create a budget based on their household income and needs.

Volunteers support small groups of students (4-7) as they create, edit, and shop through their budgets. All discussion and activity materials are provided, and volunteers can share their real world experiences to help students understand different financial commitments they will have as they grow up. Volunteer orientation is provided morning of the simulation, and no previous expertise is required

Volunteers help present safety lessons to students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Individuals must be comfortable speaking to children in their classrooms about topics such as: all kinds of abuse, bullying, cyberbullying, digital dangers, and digital safety.

Volunteers who have experience working with children in the classroom setting are preferred, though volunteers of all backgrounds are accepted. Volunteers should be available Monday-Friday from 8AM-3PM (some point during that time frame). Access to video recording & sharing is preferred as well but not required.

Training is comprehensive and vigorous due to the nature of the subject matter. Volunteers are requested to commit to programming for a minimum of one year because of the extensive training and staff time involved. Volunteers for shorter duration (i.e.- university students needing thirty hours field experience) are accepted on a case by case basis.

A minimum of three presentations per week (about six hours total per week) is required to maintain a volunteer position. They can present the curriculum to individual classrooms at a time of their choosing. The program coordinator sends out a school schedule the week before via email, then the volunteer may select the time frames they desire to observe or present.

Volunteers report to the program coordinator, Megan Lumetta.

Mentors are expected to connect with the students personably and get to know the kids. This is not a time for academic tutoring, but rather a time for students to connect with caring, responsible adults. Games and materials will be provided. We expect mentors to dress appropriately for a school setting, to be punctual, and to communicate with us if they will be gone.

We welcome community volunteers of all ages and life stages. There are no specific knowledge or skill requirements. The school district requires all mentors to complete a district volunteer form before beginning. This includes a background check.
