About Become a Big!

A ‘Big’ is a volunteer mentor who is matched in a one-to-one relationship with a child (‘Little’) in our program. A Big is a friend, a supporter, and a positive and consistent addition to the life of a Little. Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Big Couples or Big Families are not replacement parents, babysitters, or therapists. Instead, a Big is someone who shares a different perspective on life and helps their Little realize their endless potential.

Application Process

Our community-based programs in Bozeman & Livingston are enrolling volunteers. Did you know you can volunteer as an individual, a couple, or as a family?

Our Bigs can truly influence the life of a child, and you will both be forever changed by the experience.

If you can be yourself, you can be a Big.

Are you at least 18 years old?

Do you have a couple of extra hours a week, a valid driver's license, and an insured vehicle?

Can you make a minimum 12-month commitment?

Do you enjoy kids and having fun?

Through our community program in Bozeman and Livingston, we serve children ages 5-18. Their backgrounds and personalities are unique, but they all have a need for friendship with a caring adult. We ask our volunteers for a minimum 12-month commitment, and to spend 4-6 hours per month with their Little. Activities that many of our matches enjoy are going to Jump Time, Pinspiration, getting ice cream together, going to parks together, community events, and attending match activities together.
