There are currently 2,400 children on the Big Brothers Big Sisters waitlist in the Portland and Vancouver metropolitan area. Many of the children come from foster care or single parent households and hope to one day meet a caring friend through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.
In an effort to locate new volunteers, weâve launched the BE the difference campaign, a 100 day (June 17 - September 25) initiative that aims to bring 500 new friendships to children in the Portland and Vancouver metropolitan area.
When you become a Big Brother, Big Sister, or Big Couple, you bring hope to a child in need. And you do it simply by spending a few hours a week together doing the things you already like to do. You are a friend and mentor; not a parent. You are providing a life-changing friendship by simply spending time together.
As a volunteer, you are not alone. At Big Brothers Big Sisters you are professionally supported from day one. We will interview you to learn about your interests, concerns, time and geographic availability. After the match is made, professional case managers support the match and assist you with any issues that may arise. In addition, our activities department will provide fun outing and event opportunities for you and your Little Brother or Little Sister.
To help change the life of a child, contact the agency by visiting bbbsnorthwest.org or by calling Heath Berg at (503) 249-4859.
