Volunteering is fun!  Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable things you will ever do.

It's easy, too. Your Little can join you for the kinds of activities you already like to do, such as:

  • Shooting hoops
  • Playing a board game
  • Sharing a pizza
  • Taking a walk in the park
  • Or just hanging out and talking

Just 4 hours a month can change a young person's life.

Depending on the Big Brothers Big Sisters program you're in, you will meet your Little at his or her school or in the community. Learn more about our programs.

Little Brothers and Little Sisters come from all kinds of backgrounds. Some are really little (as young as six) and some are teenagers. Some may live on your block and some a few miles away. What do they all have in common?

They need the friendship and guidance of someone like YOU.

"Since being matched, Nathan's character, appearance, and behavior have greatly improved. To this day our relationship is still strong," - says Big Brother Ed Haynes referring to his Little Nathan. 

How to apply: The easiest and fastest way to get started is to "Sign Up Now" above.  Upon completion, a Big Brothers Big Sisters staff member will contact you. As part of the enrollment process you'll need to:

  • Provide three references
  • Participate in an in-person interview
  • Have a background check performed (criminal, & DMV)

Alternatively, you may call 704-910-1301, during regular business hours to speak with a BBBSGC staff member.

We're here to help.
Have a question?  Don't worry. Our trained staff will be happy to guide you through the application process. And when it's time to make a match we'll help you meet a Little in your area who shares your interests - and we'll support you all the way. We'll even give you some great ideas for activities that other Bigs and Littles have enjoyed through the years!
