Big Brothers Big Sisters of America

Description

Big Brothers Big Sisters matches caring adults with children ages 6 to 14 in their community. The volunteers and children spend 8 to 10 hours per month together just having fun!

Big Brothers Big Sisters provides opportunities for volunteers of all ages to be friends to children who need extra time and attention to succeed in school and with family and peers. Mentors provide much needed one-on-one attention to children ages 6 to 14. Big Brother Big Sisters staff will interview the mentors and children, learn about their interests, and then make a match based on that information. The staff person will introduce the Big and Little, then continue to be available for support to help the relationship grow. Bigs and Littles spend 8 to 10 hours per month together doing activities of their choosing. It doesn't really matter what they do, just that they spend time together having fun.
