Volunteering as a mentor to a
child can be one of the most rewarding things you do. Couples enrich their lives by spending time together and sharing
their friendship with a child who needs a friend. Being a Big Couple provides flexibility by allowing one member of the couple
to spend time with the child if the other person is unavailable.
Volunteer with your partner or spouse and be matched
to a Little Brother or Little Sister. This is a great way for both of you to give the gift of friendship to a child.
It's easy to get involved! The program matches couples with a child for a unique two-to-one friendship. This friendship can
help to broaden the life of a child and provides acceptance, guidance and support.
The agency strives to match each
couple with a child whose needs correspond with the couple's abilities, interests and preferences. After a match has been
made, your Program Director will keep in touch and offer on-going support and guidance.
Being matched with a couple, (rather than just one adult), can benefit the child immensely by exposing him or her
to a caring, respectful adult relationship.
