Big Brothers Big Sisters of Johnson County Volunteer Information

Community based mentoring is the cornerstone of Big Brothers Big Sisters. A child age 6-18 (Little) is matched with an adult between the ages of 18 and 80+ (Big) for a minimum of one year. All volunteers are screened, trained and supervised by professional staff. Volunteers meet with their Little on a regular weekly to bi-weekly basis, doing fun activities of their choice. A professional staff member is assigned to the match to answer questions, provide assistance, and keep the match informed of community and agency activities.
