Sports Buddies is seeking male volunteers ages 18-70+ who like sports and have as little as 4 hours a month to share. You’ll be introduced to a kid who wants a chance to do sports-related activities and events with a caring adult. This is your chance to do something great for your community AND the best excuse ever to goof around shooting baskets or watching a game! Big Brothers Big Sisters will provide discounts on sports equipment, activities, and events and opportunities for large-group/team sports.
We want all boys in our community to have a friend they can count on and the chance to get active and involved. We’ll match you with a child who’s a good fit for your interests, personality, and availability.
Community based mentoring is the cornerstone of Big Brothers Big Sisters. A child age 6-18 (Little) is matched with an adult between the ages of 18 and 80+ (Big) for a minimum of one year. All volunteers are screened, trained and supervised by professional staff. Volunteers meet with their Little on a regular weekly to bi-weekly basis, doing fun activities of their choice. A professional staff member is assigned to the match to answer questions, provide assistance, and keep the match informed of community and agency activities.
School Buddies is a relationship-focused program. Volunteers (between the ages of 16 and 80+) meet for an hour each week with an elementary aged child for a commitment of one academic year.
Academic Mentoring Program involves a stronger academic component than either of the above programs, along with the option to do community activities with a child.
