100 Men in 100 Days
100 Men in 100 Days — February 10 to May 21, 2025
Our Goal is Your challenge. Be one of the 100.
It's no secret—today, more than ever before, young people need mentors. They need someone they can look up to. They need someone they can depend on. But even more than that, they need someone to be a friend.
At BGCBigs, we have a variety of ways you can volunteer to be a mentor to a young person—and it's easier than you think...
Imagine tossing a football around, playing video games or an intense round of UNO, or imagine just hanging out with someone who thinks you’re awesome just for being you.
Do what you already love doing but share those moments with a buddy who loves doing them too! It's that easy to be a volunteer mentor.
Be one of the 100 men we need and change a life—yours.
OUR GOAL
To recruit 100 Men in 100 Days to become volunteer mentors in any of our volunteer programs. Choose the program that suits your lifestyle best!
YOUR CHALLENGE
Step up and be 1 of the 100 Men we’re looking for. You don't need to change the future, just the moment.
You are enough! Just show up & have fun!
Being a good volunteer mentor is as easy as doing things you already love to do but with a buddy! As a mentor, you might:
- Spend one night per week at a local gym shooting hoops with your mentee, or;
- Spend one hour per week at a local school hanging out and helping your mentee with reading, or;
- Spend one hour per week watching movies, playing video games, or experiencing new things with your mentee.
Redefine the way you spend an hour. It's that easy to be a mentor.
We have a place for you
No matter your background, lived experience or level of education—BGCBigs is a diverse, inclusive and safe space with a variety of volunteer programs to choose from. From site-based mentoring in a group, to 1-to-1 mentoring at a location of your (and your mentee's) choosing, we have a volunteer program that fits you.
Above all else, we're a place where everyone belongs.
Messages from our Mentors & Mentees
Being a mentor has brought upon so many positive changes in my life [...] It doesn't have to come at a cost. You will truly find enjoyment and inner peace out of fostering a relationship with a [mentee].
— Henry Grover, Former Mentor
I look forward to seeing [my mentor] each week! We do an awesome variety of things together. It can range from sitting and watching a movie, all the way to scavenging across the city for geocaches!
— Colby, Mentee
Mentoring has taught me that I am more than my own set of problems. I am a difference-maker — Sam, Mentor
Step up to the challenge.
Be one of the 100 Men we’re looking for. Join our community of volunteer mentors.
BGCBigs is a safe, accepting, inclusive organization in which differences are valued in all aspects of service delivery and organizational practices. The 100 Men in 100 Days campaign was designed specifically to help close the gap in programs and services available to our families who are seeking programming for male-identifying children and youth. We encourage a diverse group of male-identifying volunteers and young people to participate in this unique program.
