Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cedar Rapids & East Central Iowa

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cedar Rapids & East Central Iowa Our mission is to create and support one to one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. Visit BigCR.org for more information!

Big Brothers Big Sisters offers two types of mentoring opportunities. Community-Based: 1:1 Match, Couples Match, & Family Match and Site-Based: Lunch Buddies. Community-based matches meet 1+ time a month. This match can travel together and visit parks, libraries, attend community events, sporting events, and hang out at events hosted by BBBS! Our Family Match is best for busy families and offers e

xtra flexibility. Bring the whole family to spend time with your Little, or bring your Little along for the things your family already does together! Lunch Buddies meet at the child’s school during lunch 2+ times a month. Bigs enjoy eating lunch with the child, playing together at recess, working on homework, reading and sharing conversation. We are committed to ensuring our programs are inclusive to all youth and volunteers. Equality, diversity and inclusiveness are critical components of our mission. We encourage volunteers of all sexual orientations, races, colors, religions, genders, gender identities, gender expressions, ages, national origins, disabilities, marital status or military status to get involved and become a defender of potential in our community.

Right now, they’re just getting started 💚

A year from now, who knows what this match could look like?
Maybe inside jokes, new traditions, bigger confidence, stronger trust, and memories neither of them expected to make!

The beautiful thing about a new match is that you never quite know how much both lives are about to change. 🔥

You don’t need to have all the answers to become a Big 💚

You just need to show up.
To listen.
To care.
To be consistent.

Sometimes, the smallest moments and simplest support make the biggest difference in a young person’s life 🔥
