Become a Big Brother Big Sister Volunteer in Broward County

If you’re looking for Broward volunteer opportunities that make a lasting impact, becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister might be the most rewarding way to help your community. BBBS of Broward offers several mentoring options to fit different lifestyles and schedules.

Community-based volunteering

Some volunteers choose our traditional community-based program, where Bigs and Littles meet on their own time — whether that’s a weekend trip to the park, a visit to the library, or just grabbing lunch and talking. These relationships are flexible and built around mutual interests, giving mentors and mentees the freedom to explore and grow together.

Site-based mentoring

Others prefer structured settings. Our site-based mentoring program connects Bigs with Littles at schools or community centers, typically during lunch breaks or after school. These sessions are consistent, low-pressure, and easy to fit into a busy workweek.

For those who want to engage beyond the classroom, our community-based programs offer additional ways to help the community through shared activities, outings, and events. Whether you’re mentoring over coffee or volunteering at a youth event, you’re showing up, and that matters.

Become a Big

If you’ve been searching for volunteer opportunities in Broward County that go beyond surface-level service, this is your chance to help someone in need and give back to your community in a deeply personal way.

Teen Volunteer Opportunities in Broward County

Teens can be mentors too. Through our peer-to-peer mentoring program, high school students are matched with younger students for weekly sessions at school. These relationships often involve helping with homework, playing games, and group meetings with all high school Bigs.

It’s a powerful example of helping others, and it counts toward community service hours for school or scholarships. If you’re a teen searching for “volunteer work for teens near me” or community service for teens in Broward County, this program is a great fit.

We’ve seen high school Bigs go on to careers in education, social work, and public service. But even if you’re not sure what your future holds, this is a meaningful way to help your community now.

More Ways to Support Youth in Broward County

Not everyone is ready to become a mentor. That’s okay. There are plenty of other ways to give back to the community through BBBS of Broward.

Non-mentoring opportunities

If you are an adult, tween or teen looking for places to volunteer in Broward County that don’t involve one-on-one mentoring, you can help with:

  • Event support: from setup to cleanup, we rely on community volunteers to make our events safe and successful
  • Behind-the-scenes prep: assembling gift bags, organizing supplies, or helping with logistics
  • Outreach and awareness: spreading the word about volunteer opportunities in Broward

These roles are ideal for people who want to help the community but prefer short-term or occasional commitments. They’re also a great way to get to know the organization before becoming a Big.
