Thank you for exploring the possibility of becoming a Big Brother, Big Sister or
Big Couple! Being a “Big” is a rewarding experience. You can put some MAGIC
into the life of a child, and have fun doing it! You have the opportunity to become
a special friend, but more importantly, to become a role model to a child. You will
become someone that the child will look up to and respect.
Volunteers in our community based mentoring program spend 2-3 hours per
week with their Little Brothers and Little Sisters at a time that is convenient for
both. Bigs and Littles share activities at various locations throughout the
community. We ask volunteers to make a one year commitment to the
match to allow time for a relationship to develop. Volunteers must be at
least 18, and must have access to insured, reliable transportation. Through our
La Crosse office, we match children throughout La Crosse County, and in
Stoddard and La Crescent.
Big Brothers Big Sisters also offers site based mentoring at several locations in
La Crosse at lunchtime or after school. Site based Bigs meet with their Littles for
1-2 hours per week. We ask volunteers to make a commitment to meet
with a Little at least through the end of the school year. Matches have
contact only at the mentoring site. This is a great new option for volunteers who
may not have access to a car and for high school students in grades 10 - 12.
Please let us know if you are interested in site based mentoring!
If you are interested in applying to become a Big, please complete our brief
volunteer inquiry form. We will send you an application, and will contact you to
set up a time to talk with our enrollment staff.
