Big Buddy is about giving boys without a father figure the chance to grow up with a positive male role model. We match boys aged 7 to 17 with well-screened, everyday good guys from the community—Big Buddies—who volunteer their time to simply show up, spend time, and come back. In just a few hours each week, these consistent friendships help build confidence, self-worth, resilience, and better life choices through support, connection, and the power of showing up.
