​Become a Volunteer

​As a Big Brother or a Big Sister, you are not expected to be substitute parents or teachers. You don’t need experience, money or a degree; you simply need to be a friend who enjoys bringing a little “magic” into the life of a child.
​

To get involved, simply contact us and we will begin the process. There is a mandatory one hour training for all new volunteers which helps you learn what your responsibilities and expectations of being a “Big” is. After completing the training, you will complete an individual confidential interview in which our professional staff will get to know you and learn what child you can best work with. There is also a series of reference checks and a criminal background check that must be completed before you can be matched with your “Little”. Once matched, our professional staff support you every step of the way as you develop your new friendship.​
