"Being a Big Brother is important to me because too many young people are struggling at school and at home. My relationship with my Little has been rewarding for me knowing I can provide him consistency, encouragement, and friendship."

"To me, the most important aspect of volunteerism is consistency. BBBS allows the creation of deep relationships between Bigs and Littles through the frequency of interactions and genuine care for each other."

Drew Donovan
FC Cincinnati
"I was lucky to have a lot of older people in my life to help teach me and provide guidance and experience to me in many different ways, and I wanted to be able to do the same for someone else, so in 2014 I took the step to become a Big Brother. After 4 years, my Little graduated High School and we graduated the program, but I wanted to stay involved even though I wasn't ready for another Big/Little relationship just yet, so when I moved back to Cincinnati I reached out to the organization and they connected me with the YP Board."

"I chose to get involved with BBBS and the YP Board after observing the efforts of Jim Rolfes on the Executive Board and seeing the genuine dedication of those involved with the organization to truly make a positive difference in kids’ lives. He brought BBBS into our office several times for fundraising and recruiting of Bigs, and I have always felt strongly about the amazing impact BBBS has for kids who really need mentoring and guidance."

"I choose to get involved as I was attracted to the BBBS to become a Big - I'm a huge believer in mentorship as it has positively impacted my life and there's an abundance of opportunity in the community for it. At that time, our first child was born and my time instantly became limited. The opportunity to join the board presented itself as a way to be involved, make an impact, and be an ambassador for an organization and mission that I believe in."

"I originally learned about BBBS in college through a public speaking class I took. After learning more about the organization, I felt called to get involved as a BIG and I did in 2009. Being a BIG has been a life changing experience for me. The opportunity to join the board was an additional way I could support this awesome organization, and to help give others that same life changing experience through mentorship."

"BBBS is an amazing organization that cares about the youth and their futures. Once I realized the energy of the organization and the people that were a part of it, I wanted to become one of those individuals that could help make a change in a young persons life. After Rich Brandenburg (Exec Board Member) suggested I check out the YP board, I went to one meeting and could tell the sincerity that everyone had to make a difference…it was a lock after that!"

I love this organization, their mission and their passion for youth mentorship."
