Big Brothers and Big Sisters provide over 40,000 hours of volunteer service a year in our matching programs.

Volunteer mentors commit to sharing a few hours a week with a child.  Our volunteers fill the gap in the children's lives by doing things our "Littles" may not necessarily have the opportunity to do and by supporting the children through challenges they may face.

Mostly though, they just have fun!
