Volunteering is fun, big time.
Play sports together. Go on a hike. Read books. Eat a pizza with extra anchovies. Or just give some advice and inspiration. Whatever it is you enjoy, odds are you’ll enjoy them even more with your Little—and you’ll be making a life-changing impact. Becoming a volunteer is easy.Our intake process only requires 3 in-person visits to the Big Brothers Big Sisters office.1. Volunteer Orientation/Information Meeting. These hour-long meetings are held every Thursday at noon and 6pm and are designed to give you an in-depth view of the BBBS program. An appointment is not required but strongly encouraged. The meeting is free, but there is a $10 application processing fee for those that choose to apply ($5 for all college students, free for high school Bigs in our School-Based program). The fee will be collected at orientation. 2. Volunteer Interview. If you choose to apply after orientation, you will be scheduled to return for a one-on-one interview with one of the BBBS professional staff. 3. Volunteer Training. Training topics include communicating with children, dealing with problems that may arise in a match, working with parents, and child safety. Think you want to be a Big Brother?
