Our Traditional and best-known One-to-One Match program gives volunteers the chance to build a relationship with a young person. A
Big Brother is a male volunteer over 18 years of age who is responsible and
mature, and has a genuine interest in providing guidance and support to
a boy. Big Brothers come from diverse backgrounds and can be married, single,
retired, with or without children. The most precious gift you will offer is
your time and friendship.

How it Works
Big and Little Brothers spend one-to-one time together doing
things that friends do… like talking, playing ball in the park,
watching a movie or just hanging out. There are also several fun sponsored events provided
throughout the year, such as tickets to professional sports games, the Dream Big Fishing Derby, the Big Pic Nic and our annual Holiday party.
Application Process
After filling out an inquiry form, there is an application and
screening process. Once you are accepted to the program we match you
with a Little Brother that fitsyour profile. Of course, both of you must agree to the match before your first outing.
Training & Support
Our staff guide all Big Brothers through the orientation and training
they need to develop healthy and positive relationships with their
Little Brothers.
Benefits
By
simply listening, talking, being yourself, and having fun, you will
help your Little Brother to improve his self-confidence, self-image,
academics, personal relationships and interest in activities. A Big
Brother can even increase a Little Brother's chance of doing well in
school. That's something you can both take pride in.
