How To Be A Big Brother

Just Be Yourself

What are you doing this weekend? Just got some new video games? Want to get in a game of hoops? The dog could probably use a long walk. Whatever you already had planned could also be the perfect chance to spend time with a Little Brother.

It’s not about spending money; it’s about spending time and being a friend to a kid that can use one. How you spend time together is up to you and your Little Brother.

Mentoring is easy – it takes no special training – but Big Brothers Big Sisters knows you have a lot of questions, so there are always resources available to help you:

A Match Support Specialist can provide ideas for activities, guidance for handling possible difficult situations, and feedback on how you’re making a difference.

School-based mentoring can be a simple way for you to meet with your Little Brother at a regular time and place.
