Big and Little Training...together!

In Feb., Big Brothers Big Sisters will be starting the Big Little Training (BLT) for newly matched Bigs and Littles that have been matched for 0-3 months.

BLT is a fun and informative training session designed to help you learn more about what it means to be a Big and Little. This 2 hour session filled with games and activities is a great opportunity for you and your Little to learn more about each other. You will walk away with great tips to help you both as you develop your friendship.

Come mingle with other Bigs and Littles and agency staff and enjoy some pizza for dinner!
