No time to mentor? Network instead.

You can still support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Houston, even if you don't have time to be a Big Brother or Big Sister right now.

Join our young professionals group called "B.I.G.'s: Big Impact Group." It's a chance for up-and-coming Houstonians to get together, support BBBS, and meet other people like them.

Wait - what's in it for me?

Good question! A yearly membership gets you admission into four quarterly events/happy hours; a 15% discount on tickets to all major BBBS fundraisers (annual Gala and golf tournaments); a BBBS membership pin; the knowledge you're giving back to your community in a cool way.

While BBBS does need volunteer Big Brothers and Big Sisters, but we also need volunteers to help out with special events, fundraisers, and to help us spread the word about our mission. As a member of the "B.I.G.", you'll be helping support the BBBS mission of matching children with mentors in a different way, AND making new friends at the same time.

If you're already a Big, we want you to join too! Current volunteers can join for a special price.

Membership dues

Active: $50/year (requires 4 hours of volunteer service through BBBS per year)

Supporting: $75/year (no volunteer hours required)

Current Bigs Enrolled in BBBS: $30/year
