Spending Time with Your Little
Once matched, Big Brothers and Big Sisters develop friendships with their Little Brothers and Little Sisters. Whether playing a computer game or simply hanging out - you bring magic into the life of a child. It's that simple.
Site-based matches meet in local schools or community centers for an hour and a half each week. They do projects together, read books, play board games, make crafts and more.
Community-based matches are flexible and will fit your busy schedule. Bigs and Littles hang out in the community and go to museums, sports events, movies, and more. It's up to you and your Little!
We Support each match by providing a professional staff person from Big Brothers Big Sisters. Match support specialists regularly check in with volunteers, children, and parents, and are always available to answer questions.
Regular events are held in your community, giving you an opportunity to meet other Bigs and Littles in your area. Plus, through the generosity of our partners and individuals in our community, there are often free tickets to ball games, the theater, and more!
