Volunteer to be a big sister to a local girl
RACINE — Big Sisters of Greater Racine Inc. is looking for women to volunteer to become big sisters.
Big sisters spend time on a regular basis with their little sisters, who are girls between the ages of 5 and 14 years old. They are not substitute mothers, rather adult friends who provide encouragement and guidance to girls who can benefit from this type of one-one-one relationship.
Big sisters are matched with girls who are referred to the program by teachers, counselors, clergy or their parents.
Big sisters offer motivation, help and encouragement.
To be a big sister, you must be 18 years old and have a valid driver’s license. Applicants are required to attend a one-hour orientation with the director of volunteers. They must also go through a screening process and police background check.
For more information on the Big Sisters of Greater Racine program, or to volunteer, call 262-633-8434.
