The 1% making mentorship last in Rhode Island
Join the 1% of Rhode Islanders giving $20 a month. Set once, no thinking about it again. It goes toward the year-round work that keeps mentoring relationships safe and consistent for kids across our state.
What makes a match last
People picture a Big and a Little. Sharing a lunch. A trip to a game. A laugh.
What they don’t picture is everything that makes that relationship work. The volunteer screening. The training. The staff check-ins. The family conversations. The match activities that turn two strangers into something real. The support when life gets complicated and someone needs to stay patient.
That work happens every month, not just during a campaign. Big Believers is how we keep it funded.
