"Volunteering as a mentor...is so much more              than giving.  For me it was a weekly 'jump start' for my heart, mind and soul."

You have what it takes to become a part of something Big!  Our volunteers come from all walks of life but have the common goal of wanting to help a child.  It’s easy to get involved…you don’t have to change your life, you just have to make a bit of room for a new friend.

You choose a program that fits best with your life.  Each program has different requirements for our volunteers - from 3 hours each week to 1 hour every other week and more!  Find out which program is right for you here!

Mentoring works!

Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs have been helping children for almost 100 years! Studies have shown that the Littles:

  • Feel better about themselves
  • Improve their self confidence
  • Show improved grades at school
  • Get along better with others

We would love to hear from you if you're interested in volunteering or if you have any questions about our programs.  You can drop in to one of our Volunteer Information Evenings or just give us a call.  We can arrange to meet for a personal orientation where we will share with you all the right information to make an informed decision about volunteering.

Whether you're interested in volunteering with the children or assisting us with fundraising, please give us a call at (705) 728-0515, fill out an inquiry form or   e-mail bbbsbarrie.com to get started!
