Become a "Big"

Our volunteers are the heart and soul of Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City. Being a Big Brother or a Big Sister means being a special friend to a child in need and having the power to change not only a child's life and your own, but every life that child touches now and in the future.

We have a Volunteer Technology Committee for those who want to lend us their technical expertise.

A great way to get your employer and co-workers involved is through our Workplace Mentoring Program.

The Workplace Mentoring Program also has occasional needs for Guest Speakers with knowledge on a variety of topics such as Career Exploration, Financial Planning, and Resume Writing; as well as contacts at NYC Locations for our low-cost cultural, recreational, and community service field trips.

Skilled people with relevant experience can help out our various departments as Part-time Intern Volunteers
