"Who was that one person that made you feel special?"

Home > Volunteering > Real-Life Stories

In our own lives, each of us shared an important connection with someone who broadened our horizons and brought a little magic into our lives. 

It was the person who taught you to throw that perfect spiral, or sat in the front row to cheer you on, even when it was embarrassing. These are the little moments that Big Brothers and Big Sisters experience every day. 

These real life stories are just a few of the ways Big Brothers Big Sisters is changing lives and communities forever.
