 A Big Brother or Big Sister can have a major impact on a child's life, and yet it's a truly simple process. It just takes some time, a love of life, and a concern for children.
A child's self-esteem increases when an adult friend genuinely cares. His or her future is broadened by a role model who can be a guide to life's opportunities and around life's obstacles. A Big Brother or Big Sister can act as a mentor and a role model. A "Big" can show a child that, no matter how difficult things get, there is a caring adult friend there for them - someone who will listen with an uncritical ear, who will give advice if asked, and encouragement when needed, and who will help put things into perspective. And the children are not the only ones that benefit from this experience. Both the child and the volunteer share the feelings of caring and learning. It is truly a wonderful experience to make a difference in somebody's life. Big Brothers Big Sisters "Little Moments. Big Magic." |
