Grant County Department of Social Services strives to recruit new volunteers to mentor, teach, and support the youth of Grant County. The Big Buddy Program provides children from Grant County with a positive adult role model and a friend on a one-to-one basis. This program combines the friendship and guidance of volunteers and skills of a professional to support healthy growth in children. The goal of this program is for a child to experience and become part of their Big Buddy’s life interests. Big Buddies are not legally or financially obligated to this program and are under no time obligations to the program, although the agency would like to see committed matches for 1 year.
