On Saturday, February 28th, we have Dave’s Lanes in Hartford reserved for Match Bowling from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. This is free for you, our matches, to attend!

Secondly, we are asking for at three Big & Little Matches join us at the other BFKS events to share their story - (Why they became a Big (a mentor), what you enjoy doing as a match together, and what positive changes or outcomes you've seen from one another). By you being present at the events, we believe participants will really understand why they are helping to empower youth through mentoring! If your match would like to help us by giving a testimonial in person and can help us out on any one or all of the event dates listed below, please let Caitlin or I know as well! We have volunteer opportunities that you and your Little could help with as well. Ask us more about that if interested.

Help make a BIG difference in a Little’s life by becoming a mentor. It’s easy to do and rewarding for all. Here’s the process:
Apply

Once matched, you are a mentor, a friend, a guide for 4-8 hours a month either in the community or at an agreed upon site.
I AM…
…A PARENT OR GUARDIAN
We understand that children have needs of all kinds…behavioral, mental, emotional, or physical. Some just want someone to look up to or to guide them. Inquire today to help your child find and reach their own potential!
…A CARING ADULT
Children have many adults in their lives who see a variety of sides to them, other than the adults living in the child’s home. We are here to take a referral, listen to your requests, thoughts, or concerns, and to help determine if our program is the right fit for them. Inquire or refer a child today and help empower a potential Little.
…INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING
There are many people in the world looking to make a big difference in the world. How about making a difference, by becoming a Big. Volunteer some of your time each month to give back to our youth in role modeling how to ignite that desire to be the best versions of ones self. Show them how to set goals and know that anything can be achievable.
