I was an active Big Brother for twenty years. As a Big, I saw firsthand the positive change BBBS of Southern Minnesota has made to my community. Hundreds of children have benefitted from having a Big in their lives. Most have grown to become successful adults. It’s truly amazing what a positive effect only a few hours per month can have on a child who desperately needs an adult role model to bring some stability to an unstable situation.

Best of all, we Bigs unanimously realize we gain as much or more from the experience as our Littles do. Plus, it’s fun to act like a kid again, especially for the older Bigs. 🙂
