Our Community Based program offers the opportunity for you and your friend, significant other, or family to spend time together while helping a child who needs and wants a mentor. Couples Matches are two people who are matched with one child to spend time with each month. Family Matches let a whole family participate in getting to know a child. Your family could be a positive addition to the life of a child in your community. For just a few hours, a couple times a month, a family or a couple can give a Little the invaluable gift of friendship.
