| Become a Big Brother! |
|
Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County |
|
What's it about?
|
Big Brothers Big Sisters and VAVi have teamed up to recruit men to become Big Brothers to the youth of San Diego County. |
|
Details
|
If you are over 18, you can volunteer in one of the following two programs:
The Community-Based Mentoring Program, where you meet with your Little Brother just 2-4 times a month and do activities you both enjoy in the community, like going to the beach or watching a baseball game.
OR
The School-Based Mentoring Program, which is just one hour a week at the child's elementary school, after the school day has ended. This is your chance to be a kid again (remember recess?!)

Why we need you...
|
At this time the need is especially great for men to serve as Big Brothers. About 70% of the kids currently waiting for a ‘”Big” are male, but only 30% of our volunteer inquiries come from men. On average, a boy will end up waiting more than 33% longer for a “Big” than a girl. Throughout the county boys and young men are looking for someone to have fun with, and by sharing a friendship with a child through time spent simply playing catch or going on a hike can help a child avoid negative behaviors and succeed in life.
It is just a one-year commitment, with flexible hours to fit your schedule.
Remember, you don't have to find more time in your schedule to be a "Big", just put more fun in the time you have!
