"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 simple, too. You and your "Little" can share the kinds of activities you already like to do, such as:

Shooting hoops
Playing a board game
Going on a hike
Enjoying a pizza
Learning to cook Latin American dishes such as asopao from Puerto Rico or ropa vieja from Cuba
