Also referred to as our Traditional or Community Matching program, this program matches adult female volunteers with a child based on common interests and time considerations. Matches spend one-to-one time together, creating a true friendship that will benefit a child…but you’ll also be surprised at how the friendship will make you feel great too.

Quotes
'It's such a great friendship with a smaller person...as she gets older, it gets better as she's growing in different ways...I never would have thought that I could be friends with a person who was much younger than me...I enjoy being with her; she teaches me things; I teach her things...it's amazing what she knows about life' - Sara, Big Sister
'I not only gained a role model, but a sister and a friend'
- Karen, Former Little Sister
