Magic in Action
“FUN! Being a Big has helped me make a new friend. It also keeps me young. We’ve gone to movies, shot pool, hiked, had lunch, and shopped. As far as future volunteers, everyone needs help some time. Being a Big is a great way to give back to the community.”
- Buzz, a Big Brother
”When I first went away to college it was hard leaving my sisters. Big Brothers Big Sisters has given me the opportunity to feel like I have a family in Athens. Amber is my Little, and she has brought me a lot of joy. She is a very special person who just needs to be reminded how special she is and encouraged to do her very best in life. We go skating, bowling, watch movies, and spend a lot of time together. I would refer anyone to Big Brothers Big Sisters. You can get so much satisfaction out of being a volunteer.”
- A Big Sister
”When I first became a Big Brother, I had no idea the impact this program would have on my life. Leroy and I have developed a very close relationship over the past four years. I have introduced Leroy to new hobbies, brought him to places he never dreamed, and introduced him to people who have made a huge impact on his life. Just about every time I visit my family in Northeast Ohio, I bring Leroy along. My parents actually get mad when I come home without him! Being a part of this young man’s life has easily been my proudest accomplishment. Leroy is my real brother now and one of my closest friends.”
- Andrew, a Big Brother
