Big Brother Match ~ One to One
Little Brothers are young boys, generally between the ages of 6 and 16, who could really use a friend like you. These little guys look forward to meeting their Big Brothers and patiently await their first meeting.
Making the right match between a Big and Little Brother is a very important part of this friendship process. All prospective volunteers are carefully interviewed, and a thorough inquiry is done to ensure that they are reliable, caring adults. We get to know the Little's and Big's likes and dislikes, interests and personality.
After the successful match is made, a mentoring coordinator at Big Brothers Big Sisters will stay in touch to provide any help they can while the Big and Little Brother establish their friendship. In just a few hours a week, for a minumum of one year, you may create a friendship that lasts a lifetime! And the rewards are something that money just can't buy. A smile, a laugh, a fun afternoon at the park - all because you choose to become a friend. Our studies have shown that a Big Brother can even increase a Little Brother's chances of doing well in school. That's something you can both take pride in. You see, being a Big Brother is simply about being a friend to a Little Brother. It's about laughing, playing, dreaming and just being there when he needs a helping hand.
And Who is that Big Brother? Why, it's you, and any other male over 18 years old, from any walk of life, married, single, with or without children, student or retired, who has a few hours a week to volunteer his time.
