"Spending time with my Little Brother is easy.  Stuff I’d do anyway is more fun with him."

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.  It doesn’t require a special occasion or expensive activities; just a few hours a month sharing simple things you already enjoy doing with a friend.  You and your Little can:

  • Shoot hoops
  • Play a board game
  • Go on a hike
  • Share a pizza (or bake one)
  • Hang out and talk

"As a Big Brother, you're simply a friend. Your friendship fits your lifestyle. Busy people of all ages can get involved. Choose the program that works best for you!"   Ron, age 54
