Have Fun. Make a Difference.
Volunteer as a Big Brother or Big Sister.

Spend time with a kid 3-4 times a month.
Just be yourself and be a friend. Share the things you enjoy doing. That's all it takes to be a Big Brother or Big Sister.
(You must be at least 18 years old to be a Big.)

Share fun, simple activities on a consistent basis.
Here are just a few of the things you could do with your "Little:"

• Toss a ball or ride bikes.
• Bake cookies.
• Do a puzzle or play a board game.
• Take your Little to his first baseball game.
• Go sledding or build a snow fort.
• Help your Little prepare for a big test.
• Share a pizza and talk about sports or music.

We offer two volunteer options:

• Community-based Mentoring - Flexible scheduling and a perfect fit for anyone who likes lots of options.

What's in it for you?
Here are just a few of the many reasons to volunteer as a Big Brother or Big Sister:
