Be a Big – Complete the Online Application

At this time, due to our waiting list of predominately young boys, our greatest need for the community-based program is for MALE volunteers.

Females applying to be a community-based Big may wait for a year+ or indefinitely. Women interested in volunteering are encouraged to apply with our mentor2.0 program (separate application located at the following URL: https://bbbstx.imentor.org/) or school-based mentoring programs.

For more information on the various programs and a list of available schools, please visit www.bbbstx.org/houston/our-programs. If you have any questions, please contact a recruitment specialist by emailing recruitment@bbbstx.org or texting "BIG SISTER" to 713.860.8215.

Please note if you continue with the community-based application, you may not be contacted for an interview until we have Little Sisters available.

Every volunteer must provide four references that have known you for at least TWO YEARS from each of the following categories: 1) spouse (if married) or other family member, 2) Work or School, 3) Friend, and 4) Additional Friend or Work. Be prepared to give their Name, Phone Number, and Email Address.

Please note we do check in with each reference and cannot proceed with your application until we have heard back from all four. We recommend letting your references know that they will be contacted shortly via email or phone.

*References will automatically receive an email with a link to the questionnaire with the exception of Reference #1 (Spouse or Family Member) who will be contacted via phone.*
