HOST A PRESENTATION

Invite us to your workplace, place of worship, or any other group activity, and help us spread our mission.

LARGE GROUP

Let us speak to your employees or maybe in front of your church congregation and spread the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters. We can speak as long or as little as you'd like.

LUNCH AND LEARN

Get a small group of coworkers or friends together, and let's grab a bite to eat. We want to create a no-pressure situation where we can just chat about what we do.

VIRTUAL

We know the last couple years have shifted the world online and we can make that work! While we'd love to be in-person, we can still meet for a zoom call. Anything to EMPOWER POTENTIAL.
