What is a Big for a Day?

For one day engage in this group activity alongside our ready-to-be-matched (RTBM) children—who are eagerly awaiting a mentor.

These experiences are invaluable for them while they await a permanent match.

Why be a "Big for a Day"?

  • No long-term commitment required: Just a few hours of your time to share smiles, build memories, and make a lasting impact.

  • We prioritize Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI): This ensures safe, inclusive spaces where everyone feels valued.

  • It's simple and rewarding: Interact, engage, and mentor! No special skills needed, just show up as yourself to positively impact a young person.

  • Make a difference: Your time and attention can brighten a child's day and boost their confidence and social-emotional learning skills.

  • Create memorable experiences: Leave a lasting impression on both of your hearts.

  • Share the experience and double the fun! You don't have to come alone. Invite friends or family members that you think would also like to get involved.

Let's make a BIG difference in the lives of these children together.

Age requirements: 18 & over
