BBBS is committed to developing and supporting strong and enduring one-to-one relationships for children facing adversity and could benefit from the support of volunteers to ensure annual events run smoothly.
These events are a great opportunity to spend a small amount of time supporting a great cause!

- taking and tracking donations
- overseeing activities
- selling 50/50 raffle tickets
- set up, break down, and cleaning

Volunteers are needed to support at all or some of the seasonal events. Events vary in length, but Volunteers will be broken into shifts during longer events. Interested Volunteers will complete a phone interview with a Board Member to determine appropriate responsibilities and availability.
Requirements:
- Interview with Board Member.
- Adhere to strict agency confidentiality policies.
- Ability to take direction.

Description
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bath/Brunswick is an agency affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, a national federation of organizations serving children, families and communities. Since 1981, we have matched adult and teen mentors to children who are primarily from single-parent and low income households. Currently we serve children in Brunswick, Harpswell and Sagadahoc County through our Community, School and Site-Based programs. These programs match children "Littles" with adult "Bigs," who act as mentors by providing friendship, support and guidance during the child’s critical childhood and adolescent years.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bath/Brunswick is a 501-(C)3 non-profit organization. We do not receive any state or federal funding and our budget depends on funds from private donors, fundraising events, corporate partners and an annual stipend from the United Way of Mid Coast Maine. Our major annual fundraisers are Bowl for Kids’ Sake each spring and The Big Swing Charity Golf Tournament each fall.
