Volunteers are matched one to one with youth and meet together approximately once a week at a particular site at scheduled times. We work collaboratively with local schools, after school programs and other sites to match youth with adult volunteers.
Becoming a Big is more important now than ever as COVID-19 continually changes life for our community. Thousands of our volunteer Bigs are connecting with their Littles online, bringing joy and levity into a challenging time for many vulnerable families.
Right now, there are hundreds of young kids all over Eastern Massachusetts looking for someone to be a mentor, guide, and friend. We're currently enrolling and interviewing all prospective Bigs online so you can start your journey to defending the potential of a child today. It could be the most rewarding thing you've done. Once enrolled, we'll match you with your Little virtually so you can begin connecting online!
