The Children in Townshend need you!
Giving 1 hour a week, can change their lives forever! Become a Big Brother or Big Sister today!
Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Windham County, a program of Youth Services, is dedicated to matching adult volunteers with children in a one-to-one mentoring relationship. A Big Brother/Big Sister, is essentially a caring friend and companion to a child; someone a child can hang out with, get to know, and have fun with.
 |
The kids in the BBBS program come from all walks of life, ranging from ages 6 – 18. It really just takes a minimum of 4 hours a month commitment to make a huge difference in “Little’s” life. BBBS has conveniently created two types of programs so that we can fit volunteers’ as well as our children’s needs. For those who want a more structured schedule, there’s the school-based program, where “Bigs” and “Littles” visit during lunch time or after school for the duration of the school year. Volunteers who want a bit more flexibility can choose from BBBS’s community-based program, where they can set their own time with the “Littles” and do things that suit both parties’ interests. In order to make a real impact, BBBS does ask for a minimum of a year’s commitment.
BBBS is also seeking support from small businesses in the area.
Small businesses can help by:
- Posting BBBS posters, brochures and other promotional material at your business site
- Running a promotional piece in your business newsletter or other publications
- Allowing Big Brothers Big Sisters to present our program at staff meetings or special events
- Providing incentives for current mentoring matches
- Becoming a sponsor of our event of the year, Bowl for Kids’ Sake
So pick up the phone and start making a “Big” difference in a “Little’s” life.
