When I first joined Big Brothers Big Sisters, my son and I volunteered to mentor a Little Sister as a Family Match. We had a great time roller skating, going to the Farmer's Market, and the Playhouse. It was a great way to spend time together yet teach my son to look beyond himself. It really made him realize he too had something to give. Now that our family has expanded I am a Big Sister in the School Based Program. It is so rewarding to see the improvements my Little is making in school and how much she enjoys doing things together like a picnic on the playground or arts and crafts. It is an hour a week I can forget about what is going on in my life and make a difference in hers! I highly recommend this program!
