Volunteer Opportunities

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana develops mentors committed to helping boys and girls grow into the next generation of caring, confident, and competent adults.

The Corporation for National and Community Service acts as a catalyst by providing strategic critical support to volunteer organizations that, in turn, deliver much-needed services to communities throughout the country. It promotes a healthy, vibrant non-profit volunteer sector that can deliver community services efficiency and effectively. It builds character and creates career and educational opportunities through the volunteer experience, develops and cultivates knowledge that will enhance the overall success of volunteer and service programs, and cultivates the growth of a culture of citizenship and service in which contributing to your community becomes commonplace. To accomplish these goals, the Corporation provides grants and training and technical assistance to developing and expanding volunteer organizations. In addition, the Corporation explores, develops, and models effective approaches for using volunteers to meet the nation's human needs and conducts and disseminates research that helps develop and cultivate knowledge that will enhance the overall effectiveness of national and community service programs.
