We’re always looking for people eager to positively impact a child and improve their community at the same time. And, right now is no different.
For a few hours, a couple times a month, you can give a Little the invaluable gift of your friendship. By simply changing their perspective of what the world can offer, you can literally start changing their lives. And sometimes it’s as simple as playing video games, going to a museum, or just hanging out together.
Spending time together out in the local community is primarily how Community Based Bigs and Littles develop their relationship. After all, to change a child’s perspective of the world, it helps to spend some time out in it.
