Friendship Pals

Become an "older" sibling to elementary students!

Do you want to be a big “sister” or “brother” to elementary school students? Then this campaign is for you! In this campaign, members will form "Big Pal" and "Little Pal" friendships in an effort to help the youth in our community grow to be the best self they can be. By being their “big pal” you are able to act as their role model by helping these young children learn about the world. Through role modeling, you have the ability to influence their development in positive ways and make it more likely that they become people you will admire when they mature. What kids see and believe, they become. As their “Big Pal” your goal is to help elementary school kids realize their potential and develop good citizenship skills.
