The Volunteer Activities Committee meets monthly to plan group activities for Bigs and Littles that promote socialization among matches and recruitment of new Bigs.  

The committee's leadership team meets bi-monthly, with the remainder of the meetings open to all Bigs and held at various social venues throughout Nashville. 

If you are interested in learning about how you can become involved, with the Volunteer Committee, email Wendy Perkins by clicking here.   

We hope to see you at the next meeting!
