Interested in becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister? If you have ever considered mentoring a child, now is the time to get involved! Below are the basic requirements for applicants who are interested in becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister. We enroll children between the ages of 5 and 14, and it is our hope a volunteer will stay matched until the Little is 18 years old and beyond. Of course, you’ll be able to choose the age group and background you are most comfortable with.
