To be a Big Brother or Big Sister in the Community or

For the Community-Based and
Site-Based "Up 2 Us" Program, you must have either your own automobile or regular access to one, with liability insurance. The time commitment varies from program to program.
Application
The first step is to fill out an application form provided by the agency or filled out online. Here you will be asked to provide the names and updated addresses of four references. The application can be mailed, faxed or provided to our office online.
The length of time from application to match depends on the availability of the volunteer and the response time on the background and reference checks. The sooner you turn in your application, the sooner we can begin to process your file. Click here to fill out a volunteer
