Be a BIG...Give a Little Something Back.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Big Bend helps children realize their potential and build their futures by providing them with professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. We nurture children and strengthen communities, and we couldn't do it without our volunteers.
Here's How it Works:
You are matched with a child based upon similar interests and expressed preferences. You will then be able to spend at least 4 hours per month together doing things you both enjoy.
Big Brothers Big Sisters' professionals are available to provide you with training, activity ideas, guidance and support for the one-to-one match as the relationship grows.
