Non-Mentoring Volunteering
Becoming a Big isn’t the only way you can get involved. Show support for children in your community by volunteering in other ways. With so many opportunities, you are sure to find one that matches your interests and busy schedule.
Lead a Match Activity
What hobbies or interests do you have? Share your passion and teach our matches about just about anything. Maybe playing soccer, making an awesome TikTok video, or painting with watercolors is your jam and you want to share it! Click here to let us know what you can share!
Join a Committee
Our BIG Brunch, BIG Tennis Tournament, Bowl for Kids’ Sake, BIG Swing Golf Tournament, and BIG Auction would not be possible without volunteers like you. Help organize one of these events by signing up to become a member of an event committee. As a committee member, you will get to sit in on meetings, sort out logistics, and give input during the planning process.
Join the Board of Directors
The SWWA Board of Directors are movers and shakers in the community, experts in their fields, smart, well-connected, and most importantly, passionate about mentoring and changing children’s lives for the better! Members give their time, treasure, and talent to Ignite the Potential of the kids we serve while helping us grow each year through innovative brainstorming, raising money, and advocating in the community.
Volunteer at an Event
For a short-term commitment, sign up to be an event volunteer for the day. Help with setting up the event, rolling out decorations, greeting guests at registration, and many more engaging opportunities. Events are an all-hands-on-deck affair, and we could always use an extra pair!
Get your Company Involved
Does your company sponsor events or host career development activities? Maybe you want your coworkers to learn more about becoming a Big? There are a ton of ways for companies to engage with our agency, just give us a call!
Volunteer at the Office
Big Brothers Big Sisters also offers opportunities for extended volunteerism throughout the year in our administrative offices. Volunteer opportunities are available in the areas of fund development, marketing, and communications. Join our team to develop your professional skills and/or share your skillset while making a difference in the community.
No matter how much time or money you have, you can make a lifelong positive impact on a child’s life. For more information about any of these opportunities, contact us at 360-943-0409 or [email protected].
Donate Tickets or Items
We serve all of our matches at no cost to them. In our mission of igniting potential, we love to provide unique experiences that broaden horizons for youth. Help us out by donating tickets to sports games, the ballet, museums, DEFY, climbing gym, and more! Donations of new items such as bikes, sports equipment, and books are accepted, depending on need. You can also donate food or funds for food for any of our activities. Click here to let us know what you have to help the youth in BBBS.
