Think
back to when you were a kid. Who was the person, other than a parent,
who brought a little magic into your life, just by being there? By
becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister, you can be that person in the
life of a child. And you will build treasured memories through a
friendship that will change your life, and a child's, forever.
Being
a Big is something anyone can do-the only requirements are a
willingness to be a friend, to have fun, and to see the world (and
yourself) through the eyes of a young person. Most Bigs are adults of
any age, but we also have programs for high school and college students.
As
a Big, you and your Little will do everyday activities like playing
sports, seeing a movie, cooking, going over schoolwork, visiting a
museum, washing the car, taking a walk, volunteering in their
community, or just hanging out. And as in any friendship, it is the
spontaneous, small moments of shared fun or discovery that you will
remember forever. That is the magic a Big brings to the life of a
child-and that a Little brings to the life of a Big.
A
Big Brother or Big Sister can open a world of possibilities and
opportunities for a young person simply by being a genuine friend. Our
Bigs consistently say that they get even more out of their friendship
than the Littles, and our Littles grow into adults who want to be
involved themselves and help another child.
