History:
Big Brothers Big Sisters has been serving children in the community for over 20 years. There are two programs that provide the opportunity to create magic: a community-based program and a school-based program. The community-based program allows matches to meet in the community, two to three hours per week, a couple of times a month. The school-based program allows matches to meet one hour a week in on-site programs at elementary or middle schools. Both programs require an application and screening process for all volunteers.
