Being a Big Brother of Big Sister is a great way to make a difference in your community.

Being a Big (Mentor) is about spending quality one-on-one time with a child, enjoying all sorts of

activities together. Sometimes it’s as easy as taking your Little Brother or Sister along with you to

something you were going to do anyway – like lunch. You’ve got to eat, right?

Or

You can give your child the gift of a mentor- and a new friend!

A study on the Big Brothers Big Sisters youth organization found that kids matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister:

• Are more confident
• Are more likely to steer clear of drugs and alcohol
• Do better in school
• Get along better with their family and friends
• Feel better about themselves.
