Question

Who are the children in the big brothers big sisters program?

Answer 1

Gee, "intern." Later in YahooAnswers, you are answering questions in detail about BBBS. So, which is it -- are you someone outside of BBBS wondering about the organization, or are you someone inside of BBBS trying to create an artificial conversation about BBBS, where you are BOTH the asker and the answerer?

Answer 2

i had a big sister, so i know that for my part it was because i came from a single parent/low income home. my mother went to college and i was pretty bored while she studied, it gave me someone to talk to and go do things with. my big sister was 18 and didn't have much money to go buy things, but she had plenty of time for me and that is what i needed more than things. my friend (a boy) had a big sister (unusual), his mom had passed away and his dad was having trouble with him losing his temper, so dad asked for a lady-preferably a bit older, so his son would have someone female to talk to about his feelings. it really helps if you can find a personality match too.

Answer 3

I see that you have several questions on here regarding BBBS. If you are seriously interested in becoming one you should check with your local office or their website. Most of your questions will be answered there.

We have boys and girls in our program.

Our Littles’ backgrounds and personalities are unique, but the thing they all share in common is a need for friendship with a caring adult
