Go big.
We are always looking for people eager to positively impact a child and improve their community at the
same time. Big Brothers especially are in high demand.
For a few hours, a couple times a month, you can give a Little the invaluable gift of your friendship. By
simply changing their perspective of what the world can offer, you can literally start changing their life.
Play a board game. Make fun crafts. Hit the playground together. Just as your options are unlimited, so
is your Little’s potential.
If you have questions, head over to our FAQs for answers.
