Well then, Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Huron has just the pro- gram for you! The agency's Big for a Summer Program allows interested volunteers to experience the fun of being a Big for the sum- mer months of May through to September, with no obligation to continue following the summer. Being a Big volun- teer is an enjoyable and rewarding experience for child and adult alike. It involves sharing two to four hours a week with a child in a mutual- ly enjoyable activity. This could include but is not limited to fishing, biking, rollerblading swimming, or any summer activity. Imagine the many com- munity events through- out the summer and wouldn't it be nice to include a Little? Volunteers play an active role in choosing a Little, so they are matched with a child with similar interests. Finding time is easy since volunteers can include their Little Brother or Sister in something that they are already doing. Although outings are weekly, out- ing times are flexible enough to suit everyone's needs! The Big for a Summer Program provides an excellent opportunity for interested parties who may be held back by reservations about the time commitment, how they will get along with their chosen Little, and so on, to discover for themselves whether or 0 not this is something they would like to do on a longer-term basis. Volunteers may be accepted with the full knowledge that they are unable, or unwilling to continue their match beyond the summer. The short-term duration of such matches will be given careful considera- tion when choosing an appropriate Little to be matched with the volun- teer. There is a screening and matching process so those interested should apply as soon as possi- ble. Matches are made based on background, interests, the strengths • of the volun- teers, and the needs of the child. There are many children in South Huron waiting for that spe- cial friendship a Big Brother or Big Sister can provide.
