What it meANS to be a little

What is a Big?

 A Big is a caring adult volunteer who dedicates time to building a meaningful, one-on-one friendship with a child. Bigs provide encouragement, guidance, support, and someone their Little can count on. 

What is a Little?

 A Little is a child or teen who is matched with a Big through Big Brothers Big Sisters. Littles gain a positive role model, a supportive friend, and someone who encourages them to explore their potential and achieve their goals.


 Together, Bigs and Littles build friendships that create lifelong impact.
