Be A "Big"

Who are our volunteers?

Each volunteer can bring something new into a child's
life and come from a wide range of careers: accountants,
engineers, teachers, doctors, homemakers, firefighters
and many more. You don't have to be anything but yourself
to make a difference in the life of a child. Both you and your
Little will get so much out of this experience and can do so
much during everyday lives.

Here's a list of some simple, everyday activities that could be more
fun when you include a child:

Wash a car
Mow the grass
Talk
Listen
Bathe your dog
Take a walk
Cook

How do I volunteer?

Step 1: Learn about getting started

Call 713-271-5683 or fill out our online form here to begin the application process. A
representative from BBBS will contact you.

Step 2: Attend a Mentor Training Session

Sign up for a Training Session after completing an orientation session and schedule
an interview appointment. We will also complete a background screening as well
as reference checks during this time.

Step 3: Meet your new Little Brother or Sister

Once the match is approved by you, the child and his/her parent or guardian attend
a group match evening. During this session you will meet your Little and set goals
for the year ahead. You will also have an opportunity to meet other new Mentors
and share ideas for success.
