Little Sisters are young girls typically between the ages of 5 and 12, who would greatly benefit from having the support, guidance, and positive influence of a Big Sister.  Sometimes, a Little Sister may just be a girl in need of a special friend like you.

All prospective Big Sisters are carefully screened to ensure that they are reliable, caring adults and are well suited to the responsiblities of being a Big Sister.  They are then appropriately matched with a young girl sharing common interests.  The relationship begins here for a minimum commitment of one year, a valuable friendship and a bond may be developed between a Big and Little Sister that could last a lifetime.

A Big Sister typically spends a few hours a week with her Little Sister on a one-on-one basis.  The most important responsibility of a Big Sister is being able to positively impact a young girl's life.  This can be done through shared activities such as going for a walk, playing a sport, baking, laughing, going on a picnic, or just plain listening and talking.  There is little or no expense involved and some of the best-shared activities are low-cost and spontaneous.

Volunteers enjoy outings with a child and share interests with them.  They often make life-long friends with girls who can really benefit from their attention.  They contribute to their community and in most case; Big Sisters gain as much from the relationship as Little Sisters do.
