Green Valley Elementary School

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana

Big Brothers Big Sisters mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported, 1-to-1 mentoring relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. They have new partnerships with the Green Valley Elementary School (located in close proximity to the IU Southeast campus) where they are matching volunteer “Bigs” in mentoring relationships with children who attend the school program there. Bigs meet with their Littles on-site once a week for about an hour. Big Brothers Big Sisters is always on the lookout for individuals eager to positively impact local children and their community at the same time, and this volunteer opportunity is perfectly-suited for college students.
