The Shelby & Darke County agency has 107 community based matches with a list of over 40 children in need of an adult volunteer. Volunteers are required to see the children two times per month offering support and fun, educational activities. It should be noted that match activities can be scheduled around a volunteers own calendar. Volunteers do not need to make a huge commitment of time, just have a “Big” heart and a willingness to have a positive impact on a youth in our own community.
With this in mind, the agency is always looking for new volunteers to become matched with a child and become a mentor. Every match is assigned a professional staff member to ensure that all parties are satisfied with the match and that the child is benefiting from the service.
If you would like more information on entering your child in the program or on becoming an active volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters, please call 937-547-9622 or 937-492-7611 or visit their website at www.bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County is a non-profit United Way member agency and an affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
