Volunteer: Volunteer Youth Mentor (Community-Based)

Become a Big and make a lasting difference in a young person’s life! Our Community-Based Mentoring program allows adult mentors, "Bigs," and youth, "Littles," to share activities on their own schedule. Matches typically meet up on weekends or evenings for at least four hours a month. We encourage free or low-cost activities like bike riding, board games, baking, or just taking a walk.

One of the most important pieces of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program is that Bigs can provide their Littles with opportunities to be inspired and try something new. Littles can explore new environments and learn skills that they may not have otherwise had an opportunity to experience. No special skills are required to be a Big; just consistency and a willingness to show up!

Become a Big and make a lasting difference in a young person’s life! Our Community-Based Mentoring program allows adult mentors, "Bigs," and youth, "Littles," to share activities on their own schedule. Matches typically meet up on weekends or evenings for at least four hours a month. We encourage free or low-cost activities like bike riding, board games, baking, or just taking a walk.

Volunteer: Girls on the Run Coaches -- Fall and Spring

Girls on the Run Seeks Fall Coaches Across Lincoln

Another fabulous season of friendship and 5K fun is on tap as part of the Girls on the Run, and we need volunteer coaches across Lincoln to deliver our innovative curriculum that builds confidence, character and physical activity in girls. 

You DON’T have to be a runner to get involved – you just need to live a healthy lifestyle, project a positive attitude and have passion to help young girls put their best foot forward with our transformational social-emotional learning program.

Girls on the run is an innovative after-school program that combines exercise, education and mentoring to promote self-esteem, goal-setting and healthy living in sixth- through sixth-grade girls. Teams meet for 75 minutes twice a week (total 16 meetings) over 8 to 10 weeks to play interactive running games and train for a 5K run/walk at the end of the season. Lessons on goal-setting, health, communication and teamwork are incorporated with the physical training, so girls get a well-rounded positive experience in a noncompetitive atmosphere.

The overall time commitment for first-time coaches is about 30 hours over 12 weeks. That includes:

·         3 hours of online training modules;

·        an in-person meeting in August or February

·        16 meetings with the team between Aug. 20 and Nov. 1

·        CPR/First Aid certification, if required (one coach per site must be certified);

·        2 hours on 5K day
