VOLUNTEER ENROLLMENT
One of the biggest misconceptions about being a Big Brother or Big Sister is that it means being a perfect role model. What it really means is being a friend, and bringing a little magic into your life and that of a child.
Think back to when you were a kid. Who was it that brought magic into your life just by being there? Who do you always remember with a smile? Maybe it was an aunt who taught you to cook, or a neighbor who let you help him fix his car. Or maybe it was someone who just included you in everyday activities of life because it was fun – for both of you.
Being a “Big” means being yourself, and sharing the best part of yourself with a friend. Each of us had a special person who opened doors and widened our horizons. As a Big, you can do the same for a child.
Being a Big is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. It means a chance to gain a new friend, and see the world – and be seen – through fresh new eyes. No matter where you are in life right now, being a Big will make it better.
To learn more, just ask – we’ll answer your questions, and get you started fast.
Contact us today, and let the magic in your life begin.
