Want to make a difference for a child? Ever thought about being a Big?
Learn about becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister at one of our Online Volunteer Information Sessions!
Take part in these 30-minute sessions to learn more about BBBS and the process of becoming a “Big” – a volunteer mentor. Each session includes information about how our one-to-one mentoring program works, the impact that mentors make, and how to get started. Time will also be reserved for Q & A.
Why Volunteer?
CHANGE A LIFE Mentoring Matters. Youth involved in our program do better in school, have better relationships with their parents and peers, avoid risky behaviors and go on to college at rates higher than the national average.
GIVE BACK Giving back to the community is rewarding. By remembering those who helped you, you can “pay it forward” and make a difference for others.
HELP YOUR COMMUNITY Strong kids build strong communities. Mentoring relationships help kids become active members of their community, influence their friends and family to do the same, and create a positive impact on the community as a whole.
IT’S FUN You can keep participating in the kinds of activities you already enjoy. Odds are, you’ll have even more fun when you share your interests with your Little—and you’ll be making a life-changing impact at the same time.
ALL WE ASK IS TIME There is no cost to enrolling in our program, but the benefits are priceless. By giving just a little time each month, Bigs provide a positive, supportive friendship that helps Littles achieve their goals. Time together makes all the difference.
