When you show up for a young person, you’re not just giving time — you’re igniting confidence, potential, and opportunity.

No experience needed, just the belief that every child deserves a champion.

Volunteer as a mentor in your Minnesota area!

Groundbreaking research from a longitudinal economic study by Harvard University and the U.S. Department of Treasury confirms that mentoring delivers real, measurable outcomes.

Becoming a Big is more than volunteering, it’s a commitment to showing up for a young person and helping amplify their potential.

Our process is designed to create strong, meaningful, and long-lasting matches to set you up for success as a mentor.

Central MN
Benton, Morrison,
Sherburne, Stearns, and
northern Wright.

Twin Cities
