Become a Big! We currently have over 170 children who are ready to be matched!
Volunteer Information Sure you're busy! It's hard to juggle work, family, and other obligations. But it doesn't take much to become a Big Brother or a Big Sister. Just a few hours a month can make a huge difference in the life of a child. Many of our volunteers were probably asking the same thing you're asking, 'Can I really do this?' And the answer is yes! We'll help you along the way. Not only will we provide you with a hand-picked match, we will also provide monthly support from our caring staff.
Community-based This one-to-one mentoring option allows you the opportunity to pick up your Little Brother or Little Sister at the child's home and spend time each week in the community. Outings can range from going for a walk, working on arts & crafts, taking a bike ride, or watching a movie. Remember, it's not the money you spend but the time spent doing activities together. Big Couples This option is the same as One-to-One Mentoring, except a married couple share the responsibility of mentoring. With our Big Couples, we match boys since we have more on the waiting list than girls. Sports Buddies Why sit on the sidelines, when you can get in the game? Sports Buddies is a great way to get involved in mentoring at a minimum of two times a month, by doing what you love to do: play ball, shoot hoops, run the bases, or go fishing. Sports Buddies is a chance for Bigs and Littles to enjoy sports together twice a month. Sports teach life skills, goal setting, character, and sportsmanship. Site-based In this option, volunteers meet with
their Little Brother or Little Sister one hour a week at a near-by
school. Many volunteers visit on their way into work, during their
lunch hour, or perhaps during a long break during the day. (Check with
your employer, some businesses allow their staff time off to mentor.) |
