Big Brothers and Big Sisters are, foremost, friends to children: They share everyday activities-exploring new horizons, and experiencing the joy that simple moments of friendship can bring. Within those little moments lie the big magic that a Big Brother or Big Sister brings to the life of a young person.
Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is something that you can do. The only requirements are a willingness to make a new friend and a desire to share some fun with a young person. Our volunteers consistently say that being a Big is even more enjoyable and fulfilling for them than it is for their Little.
The best way to understand what it means to be a Big is to think back to your own childhood. Growing up, who was that special someone who just brought a little joy into your life, through the simplest actions or activities? As a Big you can be that person for a child, and create wonderful memories for you and your Little.
