Being a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters is a fun, rewarding experience. The only thing that would make it better is to volunteer with someone you know! This is a great opportunity for couples, friends, siblings or other "dynamic duos" who want to be more involved in their community in 2023.
Big Duos are two people who volunteer together as mentors for either one or two children ("Littles"). Being a Big Duo is the same as being an individual Big Brother or Big Sister - you get together with your Little 2 to 4 times each month engaging in fun, enriching activities that you and your Little both enjoy - you're just volunteering with another person instead of alone.
Who can be a Big Duo?
Big Duos are two people who have an established, healthy relationship and are both committed to the importance of mentoring. Examples of Big Duos include:
- Spouses or partners
- Best friends
- Coworkers
- Adult siblings
- Parent and their adult child
Both individuals who are part of a Big Duo must submit separate applications and complete an interview and background check. Both must live or work in or near Butler County. As with all programs at Big Brothers Big Sisters, each individual volunteer must be qualified before they can be matched with a Little. Bigs and Littles are matched based on many factors, including location, personality, and shared interests.
