Thank you for your interest in Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Carolinas!   All volunteer Bigs go through a screening process to help create meaningful, lasting mentoring relationships.  The application and enrollment process takes an average of 6 months to complete.  Volunteers are matched based on preferences and mutual interests and interviews are prioritized based on the likelihood of a successful match with a Little.  Once matched, you will have on-going support throughout your mentoring relationship.  Please be on the lookout for an email to attend our virtual orientation.

All BBBS participants, including youth, families, volunteers, board and staff serving as volunteer Bigs are not excluded on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, color, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, citizenship status, veteran status, or disability.

Our Community-Based Program allows the Big and Little to meet at their convenience. These are one-to-one outings and activities such as taking a walk in the park; going to a museum; listening to music; hanging out and talking; or attending BBBS match events.  Some Bigs meet their Littles on the weekends; others get together after school or in the early evening. Each match is unique and develops a schedule that works for them.  You must be 21 years old to participate in this program.

If you have limited flexibility, our Site-Based Program may be the option for you, as Bigs and Littles meet at school during the lunch hour.  Typically, you have lunch, read, play a game, work on an assignment, or play on the playground together. These activities are teacher approved and aim to support academic achievement, social skills, and self-awareness. At the end of the day, it’s really all about starting a friendship, providing guidance, and inspiring your Little to reach his or her full potential.  

Currently, Big Brothers Big Sisters offers Site-Based Programs at Reid Park Academy, Billingsville Elementary, Cotswold Elementary, Governor's Village STEM Academy, Montclaire Elementary,  and Cornelius Elementary in Mecklenburg County; Coltrane-Webb Elementary and Forest Park Elementary in Cabarrus County.
