Your time and attention is worth more to a Little than you realize. Being a Big is about spending quality one-on-one time with a child, enjoying all sorts of activities together. Sometimes it’s as easy as taking your Little along with you to something you were going to do anyway, like lunch or teaching him something you do well, like your superior chess moves!

You Don’t Have To Change Your Life To Change His! We offer two volunteer opportunities so you can select the one that fits the time you have and your lifestyle best. You will volunteer just a few hours a couple times a month. You’ll get to be a kid again and he’ll get to be your friend. It’s a win-win for both of you.

Big Brothers are regular people just like you. Role models come in all shapes and sizes. They are bus drivers, students, firemen, teachers, lawyers, shop owners, executives and fathers. Some have college degrees while some don’t even have a high school diploma. You can do this. You just have to want to make a positive impact on the life of a child.

Here’s what some local Big Brothers have to say:
“It is part of my life, Brad is family. I am very busy but always find time to spend with my little. I’ve shared with him fishing, hiking, archery, skiing and hunting. It’s amazing how much warmth and happy experiences you receive in return.” – Kevin K., Big Brother

“I grew up without a father and learning about sports eluded me. I am happy to give my little the relationship that I longed for. Many of the things we do together are things I already do like sporting events, parks, cafes, the library.” - Robert W., Big Brother
