Each child is "matched" with an adult volunteer who spends quality time with that child, doing such things as reading, eating out, going to a movie, taking a walk in the park, etc. |
|
Additional Information:: Big Brothers Big Sisters matches participate in organized monthly activities that are sponsored by the agency. Both volunteers and children are screened by the professional case management staff at Big Brothers Big Sisters. |
