For a few hours a month, you get to be a kid again and not worry about your job, classes, or bills! Even better, you’ll make a BIG difference in your community and in the life of a child.

Yes, you! It’s really simple. All you need to do is have fun with a kid doing stuff you already like to do (or want to do, if only you had a kid to do them with!) In our community program, you could play video games, wash your car, enjoy free tickets to events, meet other Bigs & Littles, shoot hoops, go to the beach, whatever. And in our school program, you don’t really have to know how to do long division (it’s not a tutoring program)! Some kids just need a little extra help and encouragement.

Your time is extremely valuable, so we get to know you first, so we can find the best Little Brother or Little Sister for you. We are Southwest Florida's premier mentoring organization because we match you with a child based on your interests, personality, time considerations and geography.

You bet! Behind the scenes, you’ll have a team of experts - our Match Support Team - cheering you on and helping you out if you need it!

Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is absolutely free (other than providing your enthusiasm and the gift of including a kid in your spare time.) In fact, you might make out on the deal: we provide fun, free monthly activities (including tickets to theatre, sports and cultural events), and you even might be able to take an itemized tax deduction for any out-of-pocket expenses you might incur.

Your case manager is always available to answer any of your questions – just call or drop an email!
