What does being a Big actually look like?

It can look like shooting hoops, grabbing a snack, exploring a park, seeing a movie, working on a project or simply talking about the week. 😊

You don’t have to plan something extraordinary every time. The important part is spending time together and building a consistent, supportive friendship.

💚 You Don't Have to Be Perfect to Be a Big. You Just Have to Care. 💙

Think you need special skills, endless free time, or all the answers to become a mentor?

Think again!

At Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Desert, we're looking for caring adults who want to make a positive difference in the life of a young person.

Being a Big can mean:

💙 Sharing your favorite hobby
💚 Exploring something new together
💙 Offering encouragement when it's needed
💚 Simply being someone a child can count on

You don't need to be a superhero.

You just need to be yourself.

There are children in our community who could benefit from having someone like you in their corner.

💙 Sometimes the Smallest Moments Make the Biggest Difference.

A trip to the park. A shared laugh. Trying something new. Having someone who listens.

These might seem like ordinary moments, but for a child, they can become memories that last a lifetime. 💚

At Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Desert, we believe meaningful mentoring doesn't require grand gestures.

It starts with showing up.

When a caring mentor consistently makes time for a young person, they're helping build trust, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

Because being a Big isn't about doing something extraordinary. It's about making ordinary moments extraordinary.

Through our Community-Based Mentoring Program, Littles have opportunities to build confidence, discover new interests, and experience new adventures with someone who believes in them.

✨ A Big isn't there to replace a parent. They're there to be another caring person in a child's corner!

🎃👻 Pumpkins, Paint & Plenty of Halloween Fun! 🧡

We got into the Halloween spirit last night with a fun-filled pumpkin decorating activity at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Desert office!

Our Bigs and Littles came together for an evening of creativity, laughter, and quality time. From silly faces to spooky designs, every pumpkin was as unique as the person who decorated it! 🎨🎃

Activities like these are about so much more than decorating pumpkins. They're about making memories, strengthening friendships, and creating meaningful connections that last a lifetime. 💚

A big THANK YOU to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special!

📸 Take a look at these amazing creations! Which pumpkin is your favorite?

🏒 Hockey, Laughter & Memories That Last! 🔥

Looks like Big Sister Samantha and Little Sister Penny had an AMAZING time cheering on the Coachella Valley Firebirds! 🏒🔥

From fun photos and silly hats to hanging out with the Firebirds' famous pickle mascot, this outing was packed with smiles, laughter, and unforgettable moments! 💚

At Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Desert, we know that some of the most meaningful mentoring moments happen when Bigs and Littles are simply having fun together.

It's not always about doing something extraordinary. Sometimes, it's about sharing an experience, trying something new, and knowing you have someone by your side who cares.

And judging by these pictures, Samantha and Penny definitely made some great memories! 💙

A big thank-you to the Coachella Valley Firebirds for helping make experiences like this possible for our Bigs and Littles! 🏒
