Get involved
The Big/Little Project is just getting started, which means the first mentors and students who join get to shape what this becomes.
Become a mentor
Share what you know
If you're in college, recently graduated, or a few years into your career, you already know things a Portland Public Schools student is trying to figure out. Applications are reviewed personally, not automatically approved, so tell us honestly about yourself.
This project was built around PPS alumni coming back to guide students walking the same path they once did — though mentors don't have to be PPS graduates to apply.
Join as a student
Tell us what you're curious about
Once mentors are matched, we'll reach out directly to connect you. No pressure to know exactly what you need yet.
This program is open to current high school students at Portland Public Schools.
