Who is this training for?
This training is intended for High School Bigs in the school-based mentoring program coordinated by Big Brothers Big Sisters. The training is most appropriate for Bigs who are new to the program, but even experienced Bigs may learn something they did not know. Or, experienced Bigs may learn that there is research to support what they already know from experience, such as about the importance of being consistent, of being a friend, of keeping your attention on the mentee, and of saying goodbye in a formal and productive manner.
