Become A Big!

COVID-19 UPDATE: Thank you for your interest in our program. Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County is temporarily only accepting applications for volunteers who reside in areas where we currently have waiting Littles. If you’d like to be considered, please complete this form. Be sure to provide your San Diego zip code.

Looking for other ways to volunteer? Our Young Professionals Committee is comprised of young professionals (typically 20s-40s, but all are invited). This is a fun and active group of volunteers (many of which are Bigs themselves) who fundraise and bring awareness exclusively for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Click here to learn more.
