Bigs In Schools

A Big Brother or Big Sister gives a child an additional friend in his/her life.  “Bigs in Schools” are carefully screened volunteers from the community who spend just an hour a week with their Littles at their school.  They never leave school grounds, but do things together like visit the school library or computer lab, play on the playground, or play board games or do art projects in the school.

 

Thoughts from Families

From a Parent: “My boys were matched perfectly and it really fills my heart to see them so happy and excited. Big Brothers Big Sisters gives them the opportunity to have another person to look up to, get support from, and spend fun times with.”

 

From a Little: “Matt is the best. We do lots of fun things together. My Big Brother is the coolest guy I know. I’m really glad my mom signed me up for Big Brothers Big Sisters. I could go on and on about Matt, but it would take way too long. Matt is my best friend.”
