Volunteer to start something

Be a Big Sister —help a Little go a long wayThis is your chance to start something big. As a Big Sister, you can help impact the life of a child for the better. Great things can happen, no matter how little they start.

You’ve been thinking about getting involved. Now you know how easy it is and how much your help is needed. Why not apply to be a Big Sister today? We’re always looking for people eager to positively impact a child and improve their community at the same time. Big Sisters are in high demand. So, Start Something.

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 lives. And sometimes it’s as simple as playing video games, going to a museum, or just hanging out together. Just a few 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. Learn more about our programs.
