Weekly Spotlight: Big Brothers Big Sisters

Active Apr 4, 2011 to Apr 10, 2011

Big Brothers/Big Sisters Mentor

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Michigan

Adult volunteer to spend one on one time with child in their community. Volunteer would share common interests for a fun and rewarding friendship. The goal is to provide opportunities to at-risk youth and help them become caring and competent adults. Volunteers are asked to spend an average of 4 hours per month on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis. Volunteer and child are paired for minimum of 6 months with the opportunity to continue the friendship beyond the initial 6 months. Matches are supported by professional case management staff that support the relationship, provide opportunities and guidance throughout the life of the match.

Volunteers must be 18 years or older. A screening/training will be completed prior to a match being made. Volunteers will walk through that process with the case management staff so we can make the best match possible based on personality, shared interests and strengths of the volunteer.
