Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Midlands helps children realize their potential and build their futures. We nurture youth and strengthen communities. We couldn't do any of it without you. Please join us by becoming a Defender of Potential! Big Brothers Big Sisters encourages matches to explore, learn and discover new things within our community. Matches get discounts at partner businesses such as: eCreamery, The Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium, Starbucks, YMCA and more! Applicants must be at least 19 years or older, have a valid driver’s license and car insurance and pass a background and reference check. The only special skill you need to make a difference in a child's life is a caring heart. Mentors will pick up their mentee at their home and meet 2–4 times a month, for a minimum of 4 hours per month on their own time doing activities they both enjoy for at least 12 months. Matches are free to spend time together wherever they choose.
