Join Us In Defending Potential
What if every child fulfilled their potential? Think how amazing that would be. Now, you can start more Littles on the path to big things. We’re always looking for people eager to positively impact a child and improve their community at the same time. And, right now is no different. Let's start something.
For a few hours, a couple times a month, you can give a Little the invaluable gift of your friendship. Anyone can be a mentor - you don't have to be perfect.
Our volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds, careers, education levels, cultures, marital statuses, ages, ethnicities, and households. Mentoring is about starting a consistent friendship and inspiring positive change to empower children to believe they can achieve what they never dreamed possible. You can simply incorporate your Little into your everyday life: play sports together, picnic in the park, take your dog for a hike or go to the beach. Being a Big will be one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling things you do, while also being a force of change in our community. And the best part is, it’s a lot of fun!
