Become a Big

What does it mean to become a "Big"? First and foremost, you are a friend, a mentor, and someone your Little can depend on and learn from.

Building Friendships That Matter

We strive to team you up with a young person with similar interests so you can build a trusting and enduring friendship. As a Big Brother or Big Sister, you get to be a kid again for a few hours a month and give a child the invaluable gift of mentoring and friendship.

Be There

Bigs and Littles do all kinds of activities together, many of which you may already be doing in your own life, but the most important thing is to Be There! By being a positive role model, you can help ignite the power and promise of a young person in our community.

What Bigs Do

• Spend a few hours a month with your Little doing fun activities
• Share your life experiences and offer guidance
• Help build confidence, self-esteem, and life skills
• Attend community events and explore new interests together
• Be a consistent, positive presence in a young person's life

The Impact of Mentoring

Research shows that children with mentors are more likely to succeed academically, develop healthier relationships, and make better life choices. As a Big, you're not just spending time with a child — you're helping shape their future and giving them the tools to succeed.
