Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sedgwick County

High School Volunteering

High School students make a tremendous contribution to Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Not only do they serve as mentors and tutors but they also support the agency behind the scenes in many important ways. We encourage you to consider any of the following opportunities to help us fulfill our mission of making a lasting difference in the lives of children in Sedgwick County.

Site-based Match. Meet with a child 30-90 minutes once a week at a school to work on homework or basic skills, play board games, shoot baskets, do arts and crafts, etc. Volunteers are at least 15 and finished with their freshman year.

High School Bowl for Kids Sake. If you’d like to help raise money to support high school matches, go to www.sgbfks.kintera.org, join your school’s team and e-mail friends and family to support you. For more information on BFKS, click here.

High School Council. The High School Council is a dynamic group of sophomores, juniors and seniors from 20 Sedgwick County high schools. The group gathers monthly to share what’s going on at their schools, provide feedback and exchange ideas for recruiting and retaining top quality high school mentors, tutors and other volunteers for Big Brothers Big Sisters.
