Volunteer
Become a Big
Becoming a Big Brother or Big Sisters is something that you can do. The first step is calling the BBBS office at 453-5521. Have questions, concerns? Just ask, we’ll answer your questions, and get you started fast in the program you would like to be involved in.
To be a Big in the community-based program or the club-based program, you need to be at least 19 years of age, a resident of Great Falls and surrounding area , and have a desire to share some fun with a young person.
Married couples have the option of mentoring a child together. Group volunteers are individuals who volunteer on a part-time basis to accompany unmatched children to agency sponsored group activities. Group volunteers go through the same interview process as a Big, and have the option of becoming matched later on.
Currently, the Buddies Program matches high school students or adults with elementary students. Interested high school students and community adults can contact BBBS. High school students can also contact the counseling office at their high school for more information about becoming a Big Buddy. The Buddies Program also allows adults to mentor at East Middle School. This option will be available to anyone with an hour long lunch or a pro-community employer willing to let their employee spend an hour of work time at the school each week during the school year.

Words from a Big Brother I am a member of the Big Brothers and Sisters program and right now they need more volunteers to help out. I am being completely honest when I tell you this is one of the very best things you can do for the community. I guarantee you will make a difference by doing this. It requires very little effort, and the great thing is you get to have fun while doing it. Some of the things my little brother and I do are play video games, go swimming at the pool, go to the river and play with my dog, watch movies, and go bowling. I know what it is like to have the schedule of a missileer. I also know how busy all of you are. All I am asking is you consider helping out our community. Thanks, Adam Pitman 6/20/07
