Campus Y

The center for social justice at UNC Chapel Hill

Big Buddy

An affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Big Buddy pairs UNC students with "at risk" children ages 6-14 in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro community to form one-on-one mentor relationships . Each mentor acts as a friend and role model to a child in need of one, with the hope that the experience has positive and lasting impact on the lives of both the "big" and "little" alike.
