T hink about it. Big Brothers Big Sisters will give you that chance. By volunteering, you benefit a child directly. It isn't difficult, your job is not to replace a parent. You just have to be a friend.
G rowing up is never easy.
But having a special friend helps a lot. And when that friend is older, wiser and willing to take the time to listen, that is special indeed. Big Brother and Big Sisters provides special friendships to boys and girls, primarily from single parent homes. Having a Big Brother or a Big Sister can help a child handle life's ups and downs. W hen a child loses a parent through divorce, separation or death, the impact can be devastating.
