Many of us remember an adult who made a difference in our lives. Someone who taught us something new, or made us laugh, or helped to give us the confidence to try new things.

Our Bigs do all of that. An hour a week with their Little is a perfect opportunity to share experiences, and to learn about each other.

Making the Connection

Matches come together through our two essential programs:

• Community-Based Mentoring : For as little as an hour a week, Bigs and Littles meet in their community to share fun activities … stories … and a little bit of themselves. Learn more » 

• Site-Based Mentoring : Bigs and Littles meet once a week in schools, libraries and community centers, to talk and have fun. It’s not about being a tutor … it’s about being a friend. Learn more » 

How a Big becomes a Big (and a Little a Little)

A lot of things have to happen before we make a match. All our Bigs go through a thorough background check and careful interview process. Then we match Bigs and Littles based on location, personalities and preferences. And we provide full support along the way — so that matches can grow into lasting friendships.

Getting together is a great time for both Bigs and Littles. It doesn’t require a special occasion or expensive activities; just a few hours every month sharing simple things you already enjoy with a young person. Things like….

• Shooting hoops

• Playing a board game

• Sharing a pizza

• Taking a walk in the park

• Or just hanging out and talking

Your donation will make a difference

Calls come in every day from parents, teachers and guidance counselors. They know what a difference a Big can make in a child’s life. Your investment in BBBS SEPA can :

• Helping us to recruit new Big Brother and Big Sister volunteers

• Ensuring that trained professionals match children to caring and responsible Bigs

• Offering one-on-one, ongoing supervision and support for every match

• Providing cultural and social activities to enrich the opportunities for children

Think about a child who has wished for a Big Brother or Big Sister. Someone to have fun with and confide in. Someone to be a mentor. A guide. A friend. Now … think of how your gift could make a difference in that child’s life.
