Volunteers and Donors Needed – Big Brothers Big Sisters is a donor-supported volunteer organization that changes lives. We depend on donations to ensure child safety and provide support for children, families and volunteers to build and sustain strong relationships. Our programs are proven to reduce a child’s risk of dropping out of school, becoming violent, using drugs and alcohol, and falling victim to other negative cycles that threaten our society. In addition to financial support, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County needs male volunteers to become Big Brothers as seventy percent of the children waiting for a “Big” are boys, yet only three in every 10 inquiries about volunteering come from men. To donate or volunteer, visit www.BigBroOC.org or call (714) 544-7773. Office address: 14131 Yorba Street, Suite 200, Tustin, CA 92780.
