Big Brothers Big Sisters programs:

Community-based Program

Volunteers provide Littles with one-on-one time and attention in their
communities, typically two to four times a month. During these
unstructured outings they cultivate relationships that provide
children with skills to manage every day challenges. Through
simple friendship, Bigs experience the joy of helping children
discover a world of possibilities and opportunities.

School-based Program

Volunteers provide Littles with one-on-one time and attention
in their schools, typically once a week during the academic
year. Teachers identify children who can benefit most from
interaction with a caring adult. As their friendships evolve,
volunteers and children discover ways to make school
and learning fun.

Big Couples Program

Our Big Couples program provides a unique opportunity for married couples. It's a community-based match very similar to that of the one-to-one program, except that the married couples are matched together with one Little Brother. They still meet with their Little at his house and then go participate in activities, but the Big Couple program provides a woman and her spouse with some flexibility.

They can hang out with a Little as a couple, that's great. Or if one spouse is particularly busy one week, then the other can hang with the Little individually.
The Little benefits not only from adding two new caring people into his life, but he also gets to see first-hand how two adults interact in a healthy, loving relationship. The Big Couple program is perfect for any married couple, but particularly for the younger married couples or the "empty nesters" with grown children.
