Be the Reason a Child Believes in Their Future

Imagine changing a child’s life—just by being you. As a Big Brother, Big Sister, or Big Couple, you have the chance to spark joy, confidence, and a world of possibility in a child’s life… all while having a ton of fun together. Whether you're shooting hoops, hiking local trails, grabbing ice cream, or discovering Beaver County’s best steak salad, your time as a Big can be one of the most meaningful (and enjoyable!) parts of your life.

​

This is What Being a Big Looks Like:

Your friendship can open doors and inspire dreams. You and your Little might:

• Play sports or go fishing at Raccoon Creek State Park

• Hike scenic paths in Brush Creek Park

• Explore the best local eats together

• Laugh and connect at agency-sponsored events like our Christmas Party, Summer Bash, or hands-on STEAM activities

No matter the adventure, your time and encouragement create lasting change. You don’t have to be perfect—just present.

​

It All Starts with Just a Few Hours a Month

That’s right. Just a few hours of your time each month can ignite self-esteem, spark success, and help a child feel seen, supported, and unstoppable. Why wait?

Become a Big today—kids in our community are ready and waiting for someone just like YOU.

Who Are Our Littles?

They’re amazing kids—ages 6 to 12—who need extra encouragement, guidance, and connection. Many come from single-parent households or situations where one or both parents aren’t actively involved. Once matched, they can stay in the program until they graduate high school or turn 18.

Referrals come from parents, teachers, and social workers, and we already have children eager to get started.
