Become A School Based Big Brother or Big Sister:
We typically recruit high school students to become volunteer mentors in our school program.
High school students interested in becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister in a school mentoring
program should contact our office to find out which elementary schools are participating in the
program.
Volunteers are encouraged to check your high school schedule to see when our representatives will be in your school during the month of September. However, at any time during the year you may download a Volunteer Application Packet directly by clicking on button below.
Complete and sign the forms and mail them to our office. Upon receipt of the application students will be contacted to schedule an interview, and receive information about training. We ask that volunteer BIGS make at least a semester commitment to the program.
Volunteer Advantage: Volunteering touches everyone in some way. Both the volunteer and the child benefit grow and are changed by the experience. Sometimes the results of volunteer efforts are immediately apparent. Often the effects are realized long after the experience is over.
High school students, you will not only be helping a child, becoming a BIG is a great
way to:
- earn community service hours
- try out a new career
- add to college and job applications
- a personal sense of accomplishment
- greater self esteem and a sense of purpose
- If you are interested in being a positive role model and a friend to a child, our school mentoring program could be perfect for you.
