Record numbers of female volunteers have gone through the
screening process to become Big Sisters. Little Sisters are needed
to match with these Big Sisters. Girls ages 5-14 can join the
program. If you are a single parent, contact the Big Brothers
Big Sisters office at 328?8310 to learn more about the program
and to get an application for each of your children.
Big Sisters are waiting to find little sisters who have things
in common. Children are matched with volunteers who live close
by so that it is easy for the two to get together. Applications
are being taken for little brothers, and there is a waiting list.
The Big Brothers Big Sisters agency has monthly activities that
the "Bigs" and "Littles" can do at reduced
costs.
Remember... you are not giving up your child, but giving your
child another role model to look up to and have fun with.

Brothers Big Sisters of Spokane County strives to match school
age children from primarily single-parent families to volunteers
who will be positive role models and friends. Most of the children
in our program are from families that are struggling to cope
with the absence of one parent and the responsibilities of single-parenting.
Children benefit from the time and attention of a Big Brother
or Big Sister role model in their lives. A Big Brother or Big
Sister is a mentor, friend, a role model who helps a child develop
the self-esteem and life skills needed to become a healthy, productive
adult. |
