Were you guys ever a Big Brother?

[Red Rider]

As in the Big Brother Big Sister program?

Just curious about getting into it. I have some spare time and I feel like I should give back and I feel like this would be more impactful than just giving to charity or volunteering for something else. Idk, just feeling a bit of emptiness in my life right now.

Thoughts?

I did it for 1 summer. Its cool if you have an active kid cuz theres always something to do (swim, play a sport, video games, etc. etc.).

Pretty much this, thought my experience isn't with Big Brother.

Though you sometimes get a kid that just wants to get a coffee and hang out, and discuss views on Past/Future and the role of God/Fate.

Plus, it looks damn good on a resume that you did that kind of volunteer work; gives you experience with youth/juveniles. And from my very limited experience, even if you get someone that may have had some type of violent past, they usually act really damn nice when working with them. It's like they just wanted a chance to be treated like good people, which they may not have had early on.
