Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Sun Coast realizes that volunteers do not always have a lot of time give. We provide two categories of volunteer/mentor options, Community-Based Programs and School-Based Programs. The volunteer/mentor is referred to as a "Big" and the child/teen is referred to as a "Little."
In the School-Based Program, the Big and Little typically:
- Read together
- Work on school assignments
- Play sports or computer games
- Or simply discuss life and personal issues
In the Community-Based Program, the Big and Little get together on their own time and share in fun activities in the community such as:
- Shooting hoops
- Watching a movie
- Taking a walk in the park
- Or just hanging out and talking
Volunteers Have a Big Impact:
• 95% show improved academic performance
• 93% show improved attitude in school
• 94% showed improved relationships with peers and family
• 97% improved self-confidence
Each person can make a difference. All it takes is time.
