HOW TO MAKE AN IMPACT

Picture
​Community-Based Program
Enjoy spending time with your Big/Little doing low-cost or free activities out in the community! Adult mentors are matched with youth based on similarities in interests, goals, and personality characteristics. Matches are encouraged to meet twice a month, at their convenience, to help the young person build self-confidence, think about their future, and of course, have fun!

​As a Big, you can make a real impact. Spend a few hours with a child here in our community, doing activities like
- Playing video games
- Sharing favorite songs
- Making art
- Making a meal
- Playing football
- Having tough talks
- Attending community/sporting events
- Working on homework

Site-Based Program
Enjoy spending time with your Big/Little in a structured and supported environment! These programs occur at a designated location and time. Matches are made based on similarities in interests, goals, and personality characteristics.
​

Programs include: Big Buddies, Lunch Buddies, Sports Buddies, SMS Mentoring, Big Futures

COULD YOUR LITTLE ONE USE A BIG?

It all starts with the right role models. And Big Brothers Big Sisters is the place to start a relationship with one. For over 100 years, due in large part to private donations, we’ve been able to recruit, screen, match, and support mentoring relationships that have changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people across the country.

PARENTS
You know what’s best for your child. So we’ll need your help from the start, providing information about your child’s strengths and needs, and ultimately approving the Big Brother or Big Sister match. But your role doesn’t end there.
