Thanks to Impact 100 Baldwin County, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Gulf Coast and the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce are teaming up to provide students with a life-changing opportunity — and we need YOU.

​

What is STEP?

The Student Training and Exploration Program (STEP) connects students on the Eastern Shore with career pathway experiences through monthly hands-on activities. In partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters, the program now includes one-to-one, professionally supported mentorship to help students thrive.

​

This is a first-of-its-kind collaboration blending career exploration with evidence-based mentorship. With your help, students gain guidance, confidence, and connections that can shape their futures.

​

What You'll do as a Mentor:

• Be matched with a local high school student for the school year

 

• Meet monthly at STEP activities (4 hours/month)

 

• Support your mentee’s growth through career exploration, conversation, and guidance

 

• Receive training, support, and resources from BBBS staff

 

Commitment: 4 hours per month for one school year (2025–2026)
