Bigs in Blue Program

The Bigs in Blue Program seeks to connect youth with police in their communities through one-to-one mentoring. The Program is designed to build stronger bonds between law enforcement and the communities and families they serve.

Our goal is to build strong, trusting, lasting relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

How the Program Works

The police officers and mentee’s will meet once a week at the designated school. The Bigs in Blue program fosters a one-to-one mentoring relationship that will allow the officers to foster positive relationships with local youth and families while simultaneously trying to understand the challenges that children face every day.  During their interactions at school the police will be able to eat lunch with the students, potentially play basketball or other outside activities, as well as play board games, tutor but most importantly spend time talking with their Little.  We will utilize our match support team to ensure that match goals are established and met. We will ask for the police officers to commit to the program for at least a year.
