Become A Big
Volunteer as a Big and support a young person by showing up consistently. All it takes is about an hour a week and a willingness to listen and be yourself.
What It Means to Be a Big
Becoming a Big is one of the most rewarding decisions you can make. By showing up consistently and listening, you can help a young person gain the confidence and support they need to thrive.
Together, you’ll spend time doing everyday things: grabbing lunch, playing sports, exploring hobbies, talking about school, or just hanging out. Over time, your relationship becomes something that changes both of your lives.
You don’t need special training. You don’t need to be a superhero. You just need to be there.
