About Become a Big Brother or Big Sister!

Become a Big Brother or Big Sister!

Volunteering as a Big Brother or Big Sister is easy, fun and impactful. As a “Big”, you commit to spending just a few hours a month with your “Little” for a minimum of a year. Together, you spend time doing things you already enjoy – like playing basketball, visiting the library, or learning new cooking skills. You can help ignite the power and promise of youth. A little bit of time can make a lifetime of difference.

The impacts of our program are great, but our need is even greater. Although we currently serve approximately 800 children in central Texas, we still have more than 200 kids waiting to be matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister of their own. We are always in need of more volunteers to serve as positive adult role models for children in our community who are facing adversity. Because boys make up more than 75% of our wait list, and children of color make up more than 80%, we also have a particular need for men, men of color and volunteers who are bilingual.
