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! We operate a one-to-one mentoring program where one volunteer is matched with one child (ages 8-17 living in Cuyahoga County) in a community-based program where matches do activities in the community together.
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 2-4 hours per month for 12 months
ENROLLMENT PROCESS :
Start your online application.
Virtual orientation (30 minutes). Our goal is to get you scheduled for an orientation within 2 weeks of receiving your application. Our info sessions (see more below) also double as a completed orientation.
Virtual volunteer interview (approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes).
Online volunteer training (2 sessions).
Meet your Little and schedule your first outing!
