BBBS matches are invited to join us for an in-person Songwriting Workshop presented by KindMusic®. During the workshop, participants will contribute to the creation of their very own group songs by turning feelings and emotions into lyrics!
“I can tell my Big Sister anything and she listens without judging me.”

“As a Big, I can commit to a consistent volunteer opportunity where I feel like I’m giving back to my community, and I’m rewarded with a meaningful relationship with an awesome Little who has so much to offer as well.”

Your commitment to empowering the next generation is truly admirable, and I am proud to be a part of this mission. Keep up the great work, and continue making a positive impact!”
