Agency: Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia Northwest

Description:

Be a "Big" to a "Little" for a day!

Volunteers will be paired with a “Little” Brother or Sister – children who are on a waiting list for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program – giving both the “Big” and the “Little” a glimpse of the mentoring experience. Volunteers and “Littles” will spend their time together playing various games and learning about the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Big Brothers/Big Sisters brings magic to the lives of children in the Portland area by matching positive adults with children in one-to-one friendships that expand the horizons of everyone involved.

This project is appropriate for volunteers age 18 and older.
