YOU can make a difference in a child's life! -BIG rewards come from a LITTLE commitment!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rock, Walworth, and Jefferson Counties is looking for people with BIG hearts who can spare a few hours a month to make a BIG difference in the life of a child. Volunteers are matched with children in our area who need "a little something extra!" BIGS don't have to have a BIG wallet, or make BIG plans for their time with our littles. They just need to have a little time to share. Our volunteers are teachers, CEO's, businesswomen, accountants, firefighters, Moms & Dads, grandparents, and high school students. What you do isn't as important as what you are: a friend! Please consider volunteering. There's probably a little somewhere waiting for you! Call 1-888-904-KIDS for more information! If you are interested in making a donation to the non-profit agency, please log on to www.firstgiving.com/bbbsgeneraldonation for a convenient & safe way to do so.
