    Big (Youth Mentor) for a Day

    Be a "Big for a Day"

    Ready to make a big impact with minimal commitment?

    Here's the solution: Become a "Big for a Day" with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cleveland!

    And try mentoring in a low pressure, high fun setting.

    Urgent Need: Be a Mentor as a "Big for a Day" Volunteer!

    For one day engage in an exciting community, school-based, or group activity alongside our ready-to-be-matched (RTBM) and waiting list children who are eagerly awaiting a mentor.

    These experiences are invaluable for them while they await a permanent match. With about 100 kids continually on our waitlist, the demand for "Big for a Day" volunteers is significant.

    Why be a "Big for a Day"?

    No long-term commitment required: Just a few hours of your time to share smiles, build memories, and make a lasting impact.

    We prioritize Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI): This ensures safe, inclusive spaces where everyone feels valued.

    It's simple and rewarding: Interact, engage, and mentor! No special skills needed, just show up as yourself to positively impact a young person.

    Make a difference: Your time and attention can brighten a child's day and boost their confidence and social-emotional learning skills.

    Create memorable experiences: Leave a lasting impression on both of your hearts.

    Share the experience and double the fun! You don't have to come alone. Invite friends or family members that you think would also like to get involved.

    Let's make a BIG difference in the lives of these children together.

    Are you 18 or over? Register and become a "Big for a Day" today! We will contact you with the next opportunity.
