Big for a Day is a program for volunteer with a lot of heart, but not a lot of time.

Volunteers who cannot give the time needed to be a full-time Big Brother or Big Sister can be a Big Brother or Sister for a few hours or for an event whenever they have time.

The Little is often a child who is on the waiting list, who is waiting 2-4 years, for their own Big Brother or Sister, but will benefit from spending some time with a volunteer.
