REWARDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES

Employee Recruitment & Retention

Employees want to work where they have a purpose and are more likely to stay when they have meaningful work.

Employee Well-being & Engagement

Volunteering has been shown to have multiple health benefits, and employees who volunteer are more engaged at work.

Develop Talent Pipelines

Prepare young people for college and careers, especially your own industry and company, carving the path for your next employee.

Strong Communities, Strong Companies

Connect your brand to a respected mission, build trust with families, and nurture a community where employees feel safe and proud to work.

How to Get Involved

Host a recruitment event

Hundreds of Central Arkansas youth are waiting to be paired with a caring adult. Help us share our youth mentoring opportunities with your employees by hosting a recruitment event, such as:

30-Minute Lunch and Learn
Happy Hour
Company Volunteer Fair

Volunteer as a corporate group

We have several group mentoring program opportunities for employees to volunteer. Our Bigs in School and Bigs Afterschool programs are great opportunities for employees to volunteer at various times or as a group.

Other options to explore together could be Beyond School Walls and Big for a Day. For the Beyond School Walls program, we bring youth to your workplace to learn about your career, do fun mini-activities, and talk with employees. Big for a Day can look two ways: 1) you host an event, such as a kickball game or arts and craft night, to bring together our current matches and waitlisted Littles, then employees pair with our current matches and waitlisted Littles for the activity, or 2) your employees visit one of our school or afterschool programs together for a special activity day.

Launch an Internally-Led Recruitment Campaign

Designate a Youth Mentoring Champion within your organization.
Set a goal for how many mentors you want to recruit within 60 days.

Spread the word and check in regularly with BBBSCA staff to strategize and adjust.
Celebrate!

Let's Connect. Let's Start Something Big.
