I am thinking of volunteering with Big Brothers/Big Sisters since youth mentoring is something I'm really passionate about. As a kid I always wanted to have that older brother/sister to look up to as a role model, so I feel like I would enjoy this a lot, and hopefully the child would too.
My one concern, though, is the time commitment. I don't have a problem with it being over a long period of time, but I was wondering if it takes up a lot of time on a weekly basis. I currently have a heavy schedule on top of other involvements (mostly on-campus), and I wouldn't want to back out of the program considering that a lot of kids are waiting to be matched up with someone for a quite a long time.
I'd appreciate any advice from any of you that may have experience volunteering with this organization!
