There was one active program at 20th street elementary school. An additional component of bbbsla's school-based mentoring program is its high-school bigs program, a unique sub-program. This sub-program allows high school-aged students to volunteer as mentors to elementary students throughout the school year for weekly, 1-hour sessions.

Each student is matched with an employee through the partnering corporation over the course of the school year. The sessions offer group learning activities and engagement with the support of the staff-curated and evidence-based curriculum, followed by individual mentoring sessions between match relationships.
