Defend the Potential of Youth in Arlington and Apply to be a Big with Big Brothers Big Sisters!
Big Brothers Big Sisters creates and supports one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. We have an urgent need for mentors for our Community-Based program in Arlington.
Our "Littles" (mentees) are youth between ages 7-16 and come from a variety of backgrounds. 86% of youth we serve come from low-or-moderate income families and 84% of youth we serve are from a non-two parent household. Our Littles want a Big and understand the role of a Big. Our "Bigs" (mentors) are adults volunteers who have a sincere interests in being a friend and role model to a child. Like our Littles, they come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.
Community-Based program at a glance:
- Matched with a Little based on geography, personality, interests, and preferences.
- Meet with your Little 2-4 times a month out in the community doing low-cost or free activities (going to parks, arts and crafts, sporting events, BBBS-sponsored activities, etc.).
- Minimum of a 12 month commitment
Each of our matches is supported by a BBBS staff person who provides guidance, support, and resources so each match can be healthy and successful.
