Who Are BIGS?
Big Brothers and Big Sisters are mature, stable adults who enjoy building friendships with a child. They are volunteers who are willing to spend quality time with a child and make a difference in their lives. Big volunteers come from all walks of life and are at least 18 years of age and have at 3-5 hours a week to spend having fun.

Our Bigs and Littles spend time weekly doing activities that they both enjoy while forming a lifetime friendship.
