Volunteer as a Big
Bring a Little Magic into Someone's Life: Become a
Big
To volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters, just click on
the "Volunteer Now" button at the bottom of the page. A professional staff
member will find out about your interests, match you with your Little, and be
there throughout the friendship to assure it is safe and rewarding for everyone
involved.
Think back to when you were a kid. Who was the person, other
than a parent, who brought a little magic into your life, just by being there?
By becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister, you can be that person in the life of
a child. And you will build treasured memories through a friendship that will
change your life, and a child's, forever.
Being a Big is something
anyone can do-the only requirements are a willingness to be a friend, to have
fun, and to see the world (and yourself) through the eyes of a young person.
Most Bigs are adults of any age, but we also have programs for high school and
college students.
As a Big, you and your Little will do everyday
activities like playing sports, seeing a movie, cooking, going over schoolwork,
visiting a museum, washing the car, taking a walk, volunteering in their
community, or just hanging out. And as in any friendship, it is the
spontaneous, small moments of shared fun or discovery that you will remember
forever. That is the magic a Big brings to the life of a child-and that a
Little brings to the life of a Big.
A Big Brother or Big Sister can open
a world of possibilities and opportunities for a young person simply by being a
genuine friend. Our Bigs consistently say that they get even more out of their
friendship than the Littles, and our Littles grow into adults who want to be
involved themselves and help another child.
