Become a Big Sister

Volunteering is fun! Being a Big Sister is simple and rewarding.  It is as easy as showing your new Little Sister how to play a favorite computer game, bake an apple pie or reading the funnies together.  We’ve learned that being someone special to a child doesn’t take much more than that. But the impact is huge—for both of you!
