- School/Site-Based Mentoring: A school or site-based program that brings volunteers to the classroom or the club, i.e., Boys & Girls Club, YMCA, YWCA, etc., to develop one-to-one relationships with students during the academic year. The matches consistently meet once a week for one hour during the school day on school grounds or at a predetermined time at the club.
- Partners Program: A one-year program in which the match meets 2-4 times a month. A partnership is defined as any two people committed to fostering a mentor relationship. The Partners Program is for the mentoring of a Little Brother.
