We even provide ideas, events and sometimes tickets to activities you will both love around town.

SO MEN, ARE YOU UP FOR CHALLENGE?

GOT QUESTIONS? GOOD THING WE HAVE ANSWERS.

Would you make a good Big?

What we look for in a Big are personal characteristics, not professional credentials. Your economic, educational, or ethnic backgrounds are not a consideration. The ideal candidate for a Big would be someone who is stable, responsible, mature, and patient with a good sense of humor. You must be 17 years of age or older and you must be prepared to dedicate one-to-one time with your Little every month for at least one year.

What does a Big do?

A Big is a positive adult mentor who provides his Little with support, friendship, and positive life examples. A Big is not Santa Claus, a parent, a social worker, or a babysitter. A Big is someone who cares about kids and wants to make a positive impact on someone’s life. You and your new sidekick will do whatever it is that you normally do.

How much time does being a Big require?

Bigs meet with their Littles at least twice a month for a minimum of one year. One year may sound like a long time, but just think: you and your wood chopping man beard will be making a lot of impact with just a little of your time.
