We are still matching during this time!
Do you want to make a lasting impact on a child's life while having fun? Become a "Big" with Big Brothers Big Sisters! Our program currently has over 60 children that are waiting to be matched with a volunteer. Have any questions? Check out our FAQ below or give us a call!
FAQ:
- What do "Bigs" do?- Bigs will be matched with a child who enjoys doing similar activities as them. The Big will then plan outings with their Little based on their interests. Do you love to play soccer? Take your Little to the park and teach them how to play! Do you love to read? Go to the library and start a mini-book club. The possibilities are endless.
- What is the time commitment?- Our volunteers are asked to spend 1-2 hours a week with their Little for at least 12-18 months.
- Why such a big commitment? Research has shown that our program can make LASTING impacts when the children are matched with their big for at least 12-18 months after the enrollment process
- What if I miss a week? That's ok! You will be in charge of setting up your schedule. If you go out of town for a week, maybe you can make up that time the next week. However, we ask that our volunteers try their best to see their Little at least once a week.
- Do I have to spend a lot of money? No! We actually encourage our volunteers to seek out low to no-cost activities. Don't worry though, you are not alone! We provide a monthly newsletter to all our volunteers with a list of low to no-cost activities going on in the community that month. We also provide at least one free activity a month that you are invited to attend.
