Big Brothers & Sisters of Portage County serves children 6 - 17 years old who are in need of a mentor. Children must live in Portage County. Parents or legal guardians can enroll children in the program.
After being matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister volunteer, the child spends 12 hours a month with the volunteer, doing free or inexpensive activities. The volunteers make a one year commitment to the program.
There is no cost to the parent for the Big Brothers & Sisters program.
