ABOUT US
Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Central Ohio has been active since 1973. We currently serve children in Tuscarawas and Carroll Counties and have active school programs in 8 different districts across the counties.
Community Based Program
Volunteers over the age of 18 are matched with a child and spend a minimum of 4 hours a month together in the community while building a relationship and working on goals that they set together!
School Based Program
High School students and adults are matched with a child at a school location and meet for one hour weekly either during the child's lunch, free period or after school during the school year. Programs provide weekly activities.
