Big Brothers Big Sisters of Great Falls Charity Profile

Our mission is to provide youth with positive mentoring relationships through a high-quality, one-to-one, volunteer program designed to help them become productive, self-reliant adults.

Every child in Cascade County who wants or needs a positive role model is provided with a long-term, caring friendship with a supportive mentor. Our goal is to improve the quality of life in our community, by enriching the lives of children and adults through mentoring relationships.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Great Falls Volunteer Information

To be a Big in the community-based program or the club-based program, you need to be at least 19 years of age, a resident of Great Falls and surrounding area , and have a desire to share some fun with a young person.

Married couples have the option of mentoring a child together. Group volunteers are individuals who volunteer on a part-time basis to accompany unmatched children to agency sponsored group activities. Group volunteers go through the same interview process as a Big, and have the option of becoming matched later on.

Currently, the Buddies Program matches high school students or adults with elementary students. Interested high school students and community adults can contact BBBS. High school students can also contact the counseling office at their high school for more information about becoming a Big Buddy. The Buddies Program also allows adults to mentor at East Middle School. This option will be available to anyone with an hour long lunch or a pro-community employer willing to let their employee spend an hour of work time at the school each week during the school year.
