You’re in the right place!
All it takes is a few hours, a couple of times a month, you can give a Little the invaluable gift of your friendship and support.
By simply changing their perspective of what the world can offer, you can change a life.

Please note: Thank you so much for your interest in joining our BBBSC mentoring programs! We value each of you and want to serve you to the best of our ability. We especially thank our potential volunteers for your willingness to give your time to our young people. While we wish we could serve everyone immediately, we are currently facing some demographic challenges that are resulting in longer than normal wait times for certain groups.
We currently have a long waitlist of Big Sisters (female volunteers) and Little Brothers (male youth). As we work through this waitlist, we are unable to process new Big Sister or Little Brother applications in a timely manner. While you are still welcome to apply, please note there will be a significant wait time, and we advise that you wait until the new year.
We have a shortage of Big Brothers (male volunteers) and Little Sisters (female youth). We are able to process new Big Brother or Little Sister applications more quickly, and encourage you to apply.
We are working to improve our processing times and are hopeful we will be able to catch up on our waitlist soon. Please check back in the new year for updates. Thank you for your support of BBBSC!
So many of our Bigs tell us that becoming a Big was the best decision they ever made. See the process
