Be a Big Sister
Volunteering is fun! Being a Big Sister is simple and rewarding. It is as easy as showing your new Little Sister how to play a favorite computer game, bake an apple pie or reading the funnies together. We’ve learned that being someone special to a child doesn’t take much more than that. But the impact is huge—for both of you!
Children need the friendship and guidance of someone like YOU.
“Every activity is a favorite thing in the whole world. I'm really excited about being able to expose Yohali to different experiences and perhaps broaden her horizons.”
-Lillian, Big Sister
Big Sister volunteers must be at least 18 years old and able to make a 12 hour/month commitment for one year.
