Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butler County seeks college students, working adults, or retirees to be volunteer mentors for teens from across Butler County.
The Big Futures Program is a career-focused mentoring program that empowers junior and senior high school students to plan for a successful life and career beyond high school. As a Big Futures volunteer mentor, you will be paired with a student and engage in activities that support that student's positive development and goals for their future.
Big Futures "Bigs" and "Littles" meet twice each month, including the option of joining educational or career-focused group outings or activities organized by Big Brothers Big Sisters. Such activities may include a tour of a local business or a presentation from a professional about a specific career path.
Big Futures volunteer mentors must be at least 18 years old, have reliable transportation, and be able to commit to at least one year of service. All interested mentors must complete an application, provide references, successfully pass a criminal background check and driving records check, and submit to a screening interview. Multiple employees from individual companies are welcome and encouraged to apply, as are retirees. We seek representatives from all industries, including the trades.
