Big Brothers Big Sisters:

Big Brothers Big Sisters offers students the opportunity to serve as positive role models to children in the Harrisburg area. Students (called Buddies) are paired with a "Little" and given the chance to form meaningful relationships. Buddies may volunteer to mentor a Little in one of two programs.

Berry Hill Street Boys and Girls Club Program:

Buddies may participate Monday thru Friday from 3-6pm to help their Little with homework, read together, play games, go outside,do arts and crafts, and more.

Lunch Buddies Program:

Buddies may meet up with their Littles for one hour to share lunch in the child's elementary school. Lunch Buddies is a more individualized time that gives Buddies the opportunity to really get to know their Little, mentor, and help with homework. This program builds more of a one-on-one relationship between Buddies and Littles.
