School-to-Work Workshops
As part of BBBSM’s Site-Based programming, School-to-Work provides high school Littles with on-the-job mentoring opportunities with Bigs at the workplace. Once a month, Littles are bused to corporations to meet with their Bigs and job shadow, engage in mentoring, and participate in skill-based workshops.
Volunteers are invited to lead workshops at the School-to-Work site, where Bigs and Littles continue learning together.
Suggestion Donation Minimum: $500
