Be a Big-G: Connect Across Generations
Create Unexpected, Meaningful Connections
Are you ready to make a difference in someone’s life? The Big-G campaign invites adults aged 55+ to volunteer as mentors for local children & youth – creating connections that inspire and transform both lives. With as little as one hour a week, you can share your life experiences and be a guiding light for a young person in our community.
Why Volunteer as a Big-G Mentor?
Your Experience Is a Superpower: Your wisdom and life lessons can inspire the next generation.
Intergenerational Learning: Build a bridge between generations and learn from each other.
Enjoy a Fun and Fulfilling Role: Mentoring is enjoyable. Create moments of joy and shared growth.
Make a Lasting Impact: Help a child unlock their potential and build confidence for a brighter future.
“My children are grown so it is great to connect with a younger generation.”-Volunteer Mentor
“I am proud of myself and able to see that even as I’m older, I am capable of growth. That inspires me to try other new things and believe in myself.” -Volunteer Mentor
“Tori and I were matched November 2018. She was this cute, shy little girl—not too sure about going with me, but she soon became comfortable and chatty. Our match has grown from playing tag, hide and seek, and playgrounds to Starbucks and singing along to Taylor Swift. We like to skate, bake, craft and paint as well as shop. BBBS keeps us informed of cost-wise activities and ideas to enjoy which is a big help. They are always available to chat if you have any questions or concerns. I thought about volunteering with BBBS for quite some time before I finally took the chance, and I am so glad I did. At age 64 I wasn’t sure I would even be considered, but I was and it has been the best thing I have ever done for myself.”- Volunteer Mentor
