BECOME A BIG!
We are so excited that you’re interested in joining our squad as a mentor, which we call a Big Brother or Big Sister! In the BBBS one-to-one mentoring program, one Big is matched with one child (AKA a Little), to build a mentoring friendship through fun activities in the community!
Basic requirements TO BE A BIG:
At least 21 years old
Valid driver’s license, insurance, and reliable transportation
Consent to criminal & driving history background check
Meet with your Little for 2 times a month (4-6 hours total per month) for 12 months
