Start Something BIG!

Become a Big Brother or Big Sister Today!

What if...

Every child was set on the right path?
Every child stayed in school?
Every child graduated college?
Every child got a job?
Every child gave back to their communities?
Every child reached their potential?

What could that start?

It could be the Start of Something BIG -

Volunteering is fun!  Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable things you will ever do.

Just 4 hours a month can change a young person's life.

Depending on the Big Brothers Big Sisters program you're in, you will meet your Little at his or her school or in the community.

Little Brothers and Little Sisters come from all kinds of backgrounds. They range in age from 7 years old up to teenagers. Some may live on your block and some a few miles away. What do they all have in common?

They need the friendship and guidance of someone like YOU.

“Becoming a Big Sister was something I have always wanted to do. It is important for every child to have a support system of caring adults and I wanted to be part of such a support system. What’s fun about Big Brothers Big Sisters is that although the Bigs are giving their time, it’s so effortless and minimal compared to the positive effect that bigs and littles have on one another.”

– Big Sister Katherine
