Basic Commitment
-minimum of one year matched with a Little
-weekend availability
-two outings a month for four hours each
Application Checklist

Once these steps are complete by the volunteer, our team will fully review all components of the application (including references and background check) and extend offers to those who are a good fit.
The application and screening process usually takes 2-3 months to complete. If accepted, new Bigs will join our group of future Bigs until an appropriate Little is found.
Male-identifying Bigs, bilingual Bigs, and Bigs from or willing to travel to the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island will likely get matched quicker, as these are the most common needs for our Littles and families.
