Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Last updated on June 29, 2009

We are always looking for volunteers who want to make a positive difference in the life of a child. We are especially in need of male volunteers. Our one-to-one mentoring has a significant impact in the lives of the youth we serve. Research consistently demonstrates that Big Brothers Big Sisters' mentoring helps at-risk youth overcome the many challenges they face. The most compelling evidence was found by Public/Private Ventures (P/PV), showing that Little Brothers and Little Sisters are:

46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
27% less likely to begin using alcohol
52% less likely to skip school
37% less likely to skip class
more confident in their school work performance
able to get along better with their families.

We have an interview process which includes a background check. Volunteers need to be at least 18 years of age. We ask that you commit to giving at least 1-2 hours a week to your Little.
