Clubs and Other Opportunities

A key part of nurturing children is discovering their talents and giving them opportunities to develop and grow in areas that they are interested in. That is why we offer children free clubs and unique opportunities.

To be eligible for a club, a child must be a Little in one of our programs or a sibling of a Little. 

To enroll a child in free tutoring, please fill out the Little Study Hall sign-up sheet. Tutoring classes will begin on Tuesday, April 5 and will meet regularly on Tuesdays from 4-6 p.m. at BBBS’s Gainesville office, located at 1155 NW 13th St.
