Outdoor Sports Buddies
So you'd love to be a Big Brother but your schedule just doesn't permit it…we have the perfect volunteer opportunity for you! Be an Outdoor Sports Buddy!
It's easy! The staff at Big Brothers Big Sisters will organize a group activity such as a local ballgame, fishing, bowling, barbeque, etc… Some of the activities you will watch, others will participate in. You simply agree to meet with your “Little” at the activity and enjoy the time together with other "matches." Big Brothers Big Sisters will cover the cost of all organized program activities. Outdoor Sports Buddies agree to meet for one activity per month for six months.
To be eligible to be an Outdoor Sports Buddy, volunteers must be a resident of our service delivery area for at least 6 months and be at least 18 years of age. We require our volunteer to have reliable transportation. The volunteer is also required to provide three references that they have known for at least 2 years. Other eligibility requirements include: the volunteer must not have had a driving-alcohol/drug related conviction within the past three years; the volunteer must not have a misdemeanor or felony arrest matter pending or have been convicted of a misdemeanor in the last two years; the volunteer must not have been hospitalized or treated for substance related addiction or shown evidence of such an addiction in the last five years and a volunteer currently using illegal drugs will not be accepted. All information is held in strict confidence.
