| Volunteer Opportunities: | Little Brothers Big Sisters: Little Brothers and Little Sisters come in all shapes and sizes and range in age from 8-12. They are all unique children who have their own personalities, individual talents, abilities, and favorite activities. One thing they all have in common is the need for adults who can take the time to share a little part of their lives with them. A Big Brother or Big Sister who can volunteer on a consistent basis can provide just what a young child needs. A Big Brother or Big Sister is not a replacement for a parent, not a babysitter, but just a grown-up friend who takes a genuine interest in one child. Bigs take their little brother or sister fishing, swimming, strolling through the park, to the movies, to a baseball game, help bake a cake or dozens of other things that require a little time, good imagination and a sincere desire to help. |
