The Big Meetup

January 26 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Free
A space for current Bigs to connect, network and mingle on their youth mentoring journey!

January is National Mentoring Month, and Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities is back with The Big Recruit! Right now, more than 600 Twin Cities youth are waiting to connect, explore, and have fun with a mentor and we’re on a mission to find 125 new Bigs in just one month!

Join us for the Big Brunch on Sun January 26, 2025 at 11:00 AM to celebrate current mentors and share your knowledge and experience with future mentors as well! Along with yummy brunch food, this is a great chance to get to network and build community; share stories, exchange ideas, and discover ways to #BeBig with other like-minded individuals.

BIGS: Bring a friend, or two or three who are also interested in becoming a Big and you’ll get BBBS swag!

Questions that may be asked for you to reflect on:

  • What have you found rewarding about being a Big?
  • What have you been most surprised with your mentorship experience?
  • What is something you would have liked to know before joining the program?
  • What have you enjoyed about your BBBS experience so far?
  • What are some memories you have with your Little that you would like to share?
  • What is something your Little has taught you?
  • What have you found challenging about mentoring?

Agenda:

  • 11am – Network + Enjoy Brunch Buffet
  • 11:45am – Bigs Panel (Q/A session with current and future Bigs)
  • 12:15pm – Tour of BBBS office + Ways to #BeBig
  • 12:30pm – Event ends

PARKING: Free parking is available on-site at the BBBS office.

Friendly Photo & Video Reminder: We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable at our events. If you or someone in your group would prefer not to be photographed or filmed, please just let a Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities staff member know.

Throughout the event, our team will be capturing special moments to share the amazing work we do together with Littles, their families, Bigs and our community—whether it’s through our publications, website, or social media, or with our donors, funders and community partners. Your privacy is important to us, and we’re here to make sure you enjoy the event in the way that feels best for you.
