As part of the Mentor2.0 program, mentor and mentee matches communicate weekly via a secure web-based platform and monthly group events. A BBBS staff member works with each match through the platform to manage, monitor, and evaluate the program in order to ensure success.

The basic mentor requirements for the program include:

  • Mentors must be at least 21 years of age and hold an associate degree or higher.
  • Maintain a reliable internet connection.
  • Commit to sending a minimum of one weekly message on a topic that Mentor2.0 provides through the platform.
  • Commit to meeting your mentee once every four weeks for two hours at a Mentor2.0 facilitated event during the school year.

“Helping young adults has always been my passion,” said Sharon Krementz. “At one time, I was a Big Sister and it was a rewarding experience. I believe education and mentorship are major ways to assist youth in creating successful futures. I look forward to lending my knowledge, and enjoyment of life to the whole Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland & Salem Counties community.”
