As you know, being a Big is a whole lot of fun – and it’s easy! In only 4 hours per month you make a Big difference in a child’s life through simple friendship. Meanwhile, you get to see the world through the eyes of a child again!

At many agencies there are children waiting to be matched with a great Big Brother or Big Sister just like you. Do you know someone who would make a great Big? Word-of-mouth referrals are the #1 reason others decide to volunteer. 

Here are simple suggestions for recruiting more great Bigs:

• Spread the word. Send an e-mail to your friends, family, and co-workers about how fun and easy it is to be a Big.  Use a Big Brothers Big Sisters e-card  or write your own.
• Invite a Big Brothers Big Sisters recruiter from Heartland Big Brothers Big Sisters to host a brown bag lunch or attend a staff meeting at your office.
• Write about your experiences in your employee newsletter.  Ask readers to apply online or call 402-464-BBBS to get started today.
• Ask a Big Brothers Big Sisters recruiter to come speak to your church, synagogue or faith community.
• Carry a photo of your Little in your wallet.  Tell your story in the grocery line, at the water cooler or anywhere else people will listen.
