Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mid-Florida is happy to announce the Sports Buddies Program. It is a new activity-based mentoring program designed to encourage both men and women to share their love of sports with a child. Sports Buddies provides mentors the opportunity to help build friendships and model good sportsmanship, and provides the child the opportunity to experience playing sports and attending sporting events. There is no bigger reward than helping a child learn the game of life, set goals and celebrate their victories. Mentors help children build confidence, enjoy new experiences and learn life skills through the fun of sports.
Who can be a Sports Buddy?
Anyone over the age of 21 who can commit to meeting at least twice a month for a minimum of one year can be a Sports Buddy, but we’re especially looking for volunteers who have active lifestyles.
How does it work?
It’s easy! Just a few hours of your time each month can make a BIG difference. Just pick up an application at our office located at 1155 NW 13th Street, or call for more information: 352-375-2525
