The Big Brothers/Sisters club is a mentoring program for Washington Heights middle and high school students. The club meets once every three weeks with students from Washington Heights at P&S. The club schedule is specifically organized around both the first and second year P&S classes and exams. Currently the program has 15 medical students each of whom is matched with an eighth grader.

The club has recently been integrated as part of a newly established health oriented middle/high school, sponsored by Columbia University, a local nonprofit organization, and the Gates Foundation. The Gates Foundation is currently funding the construction of a new building for the middle/high school on 158th street. Additionally, each summer we have a fund raiser called 'Race for the Kids', which is a 5k walk/run at Riverside park. Last summer we raised over $1,200 for the club through Race for the Kids.
