April Bigs Only Event

Last Thursday, April 3rd, was our first Bigs Only event of the year! We had a great turnout and everyone enjoyed themselves. Our Bigs were able to come and sit and enjoy appetizers and dinner while getting to know one another better. It is such an awesome opportunity for volunteers to be able to hang out with other volunteers and talk about different experiences and what it is like to be a Big Brother or Big Sister. We would like to thank Jessica Moody from the Cultural Alliance for coming to talk to our Bigs about activities they can do with their Little and the Birmingham365 website and all that they can learn about  through that initiative. Keep a look out for the next event this Summer! 

Bigs Only

On May 28th, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Birmingham hosted it's first "Bigs Only" Event. The event provided a wonderful chance for Bigs to hang out, discuss issues, and get to know each other better. It took place at the Vestavia Hills Library in the Forest and all had a great time. The Bigs were able to talk and enjoy pizza and drinks. Liz with Hand in Paw spoke to the Bigs regarding Hand in Paw services and about bullying. We partner with Hand in Paw for their "No More Bullies" program. This program helps Littles understand how to deal with bullying and helps Bigs know how to help their Little handle bullying.
