Volunteering
Volunteering is fun! Being a "Big Brother" or "Big Sister" is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable things you will ever do.
It's simple, too. You and your "Little" can share the kinds of activities you already like to do, such as:
- Shooting hoops
- Playing a board game
- Going on a hike
- Enjoying a pizza
- Learning to cook Latin American dishes
