Think back to when you
were a kid. Who was the person, other than a parent, who
brought a little magic into your life, just by being
there? By becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister, you can
be that person in the life of a child. And you will
build treasured memories through a friendship that will
change your life, and a child's, forever.
Being a Big is something
anyone can do-the only requirements are a willingness to
be a friend, to have fun, and to see the world (and
yourself) through the eyes of a young person. Most Bigs
are adults of any age, but we also have programs for
high school and college students.
As a Big, you and your
Little will do everyday activities like playing sports,
seeing a movie, cooking, going over schoolwork, visiting
a museum, washing the car, taking a walk, volunteering
in their community, or just hanging out. And as in any
friendship, it is the spontaneous, small moments of
shared fun or discovery that you will remember forever.
That is the magic a Big brings to the life of a
child-and that a Little brings to the life of a Big.
A Big Brother or Big
Sister can open a world of possibilities and
opportunities for a young person simply by being a
genuine friend. Our Bigs consistently say that they get
even more out of their friendship than the Littles, and
our Littles grow into adults who want to be involved
themselves and help another child.
