You have what it takes to become a part of something Big! Our volunteers come from all walks of life but have the common goal of wanting to help a child. It’s easy to get involved…you don’t have to change your life, you just have to make a bit of room for a new friend.
Big Brothers
Being a Big Brother can be as much fun as it sounds. You get to build model airplanes, toss around the football, play computer games, hang out... whatever! It's about sharing a little time together - a few hours a week will make a big difference. You'll see!
Big Sisters
Every girl needs a Big Sister to share with, talk to or confide in. Whether it's playing sports, learning a new craft or just goofing around, you'll make a big difference in each others life. You'll both be forever changed by the expereience.
Big For A Day
This program allows a volunteer to participate in the scheduled group outings with children waiting to be matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister. This program is suitable for an adult with a less flexible schedule, as the time commitment is less than that of a traditional match.
The Couples for Kids
A program matches a Little Brother or Sister with a caring couple. All three of you will enjoy activities such as painting, playing games or just talking about your day. And just in case you get held up at work, your partner can still be there for your little Brother or Sister. It's a small commitment that makes a big difference.
In-School Mentor
Become a mentor to a child in a school environment. You'll help build a child's self-esteem and school performance while having a lot of fun. And it only takes one hour a week during the school year. One child. One hour a week. One big reason to go back to school!
Go Girls
A program for girls ages 12 to 14, Go Girls uses a mentor approach to provide girls with information and support they need to make informed choices about healthy, active living during a particularly challenging stage of development. Go Girls is led by mentors, runs in schools for seven, two-hour sessions.
