Each of us was inspired by someone — other than our parents — who introduced us to new worlds and brought a little magic into our lives.

By becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister, you can do the same for a child. Celebrate the joy of everyday moments, laugh and wonder at life's adventures — maybe even feel like a kid again. You will both be forever changed by the experience.
