Big Brothers Big Sisters is looking for a few good mentors! National and local studies show that children who have role models are more likely to improve in school and in their relationships with family and friends, and are less likely to skip school or use illegal drugs or alcohol. Students who are successful in school are less likely to drop out, abuse drugs or commit crimes. What a lasting impact you could make on a child's life and future decisions!

It’s not hard to be a Big Brother or Big Sister. Many relationships between Bigs and Littles are simply one-to-one outings and activities, doing things they enjoy together, like:

1. Taking a walk in the park

2. Going to museum

3. Inspiring each other

4. Listening to music

5. Hanging out and talking

Some Bigs meet their Littles on the weekends and others get together with their Littles in the evenings. Each match is unique and develops a schedule that works for them. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer in our Community-Based program, call 859.231.8181 or log onto their website.
