If you'd like to make a difference in young lives by volunteering with Niagara Falls Big Brothers Big Sisters, be assured that we can work around your schedule. Whatever your circumstances or level of availability, we can find the niche that's right for you.
In addition to opportunities in public relations and fundraising, here are some ways to volunteer through direct involvement with youths:
Big Brothers/Big Sisters - These are our flagship programs, each involving a match between a caring adult and a child in need of a mentor. We ask for a commitment of at least one year, and�at least an hour per week of activities.
In-School Mentoring - It's not about homework! This program takes place at the child's school during the school year. The volunteer spends one hour per week during the school day doing fun activities with the youth in need of a mentor.
Big Bunch - This program provides adult role models and the opportunity for positive peer interaction among children who are waiting for a one-to-one match, as well as other children. Big Bunch Leaders take two to three children on outings about once per month.
Go Girls! Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds - Led by women mentors age 18 to 25, this weekly, seven-week program is designed to help Grade 7 and 8 girls develop healthy bodies and minds. Go Girls! involves active games, healthy snacks and discussions aimed at developing self esteem.
