Description

Big Brothers Big Sisters invites you to take part in The BIG Experience, a unique opportunity to see firsthand what School-Based mentoring is like.

Volunteers will check in through the office and be greeted by BBBS staff in a classroom, where they'll be paired with a student at Washington. The event kicks off with lunch and board games one-on-one in a group setting, giving volunteers a genuine insight into what a School-Based mentoring match looks and feels like.

Because this event falls on UW Day of Caring, The BIG Experience doesn't stop there. After lunch, volunteers and students will head outside together to plant flowers and help beautify Washington's Little Library, a hands-on service project that lets pairs bond even further while giving back to the school community
