Become a Big
Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is one of the most enjoyable things you'll ever do. For a few hours, a couple times a month, you can give a Little the invaluable gift of your friendship. By igniting their potential, you can start changing their life. Play a board game. Make fun crafts. Hit the playground together.
Want to learn more? Here's what to do.
- Attend a volunteer information session. *Currently volunteer info sessions are being held on Zoom Thursdays at 12pm*
These are held every Thursday at 12pm and 6pm at our office located at 1901 14th Ave S.
This is a great way to meet a staff member, ask questions, and learn a little more about what being a Big means.
You don't have to register to attend, just show up! - If you'd like for us to contact you, you can fill out a volunteer inquiry form here.
- If you're ready to apply download the application and bring it with you to a volunteer information session.
