We provide volunteers who are role models to children in need of a mentor. These volunteers are interviewed, screened, and trained by Big Brothers Big Sisters staff members. After the intake process, the volunteers provide guidance, increase self-esteem, and assist the child in the day-to-day challenges that they face. We do not accept court-ordered volunteers. Click here for more information.
