Big Brothers Big Sisters

I became involved in Big brother Big Sister in August of this year. My experience has been a rewarding one. Many volunteer activities may not provide such a long term benefit for all involved. The kids that volunteer to be in the program want to be there, and it only involves two hours a week for one year. The attachment that you develop is rewarding, and the difference that you make is profound. We make trips to the mall, movies, and just hang out together. It makes such a big impact on my “little’s” life. Take the step; become involved. www.BBBS.org
