It’s one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things you’ll ever do! As a Big, you get to be a kid again for a couple of hours every week and in the process change a child’s perspective on life. All you have to do is be a friend and involve your "Little" in things you already do like:
- eat pizza and talk about sports, fashion or music
- cook or bake
- help with homework or prepare for that big test
- explore the community
- go to the movies and throw popcorn at the screen (okay, maybe not that part)
What's in it for you?
- Make a difference in a young person's life and in your community in a very personal and authentic way.
- Take a break from the daily routine and have fun!
- Share in a young person's achievements and watch him/her grow as a person.
- Connect with volunteers who have a similar desire to give back.
- Be part of a nationwide movement to positively impact the way our children grow up.
