At this point in time, there are very few local mentoring opportunities in Catron County. The closest mentoring agency is in Silver City. Mentors in Silver City, Grant County and the region are needed now more than ever in this time of change. For more than 112 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated on the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (Bigs) and children (Littles), ages 5 through 18, in communities across the country. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.

Match Types:
Site Based Matches – Bigs and Littles meet at the Little’s school once per week. Matches enjoy reading, eating, crafting, playing basketball or board games or just talking.

Community Based Matches – Bigs and Littles meet 4 or more hours each month out in the community or through tech like Facetime or Zoom. Matches enjoy playing outdoors, going to a museum, reading together, or just hanging out.
