History and Volunteer Information: Big Brothers and Sisters of Tulsa1976-01-01unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_109_4_22_11_0013Big Brothers and Sisters of Tulsa is a volunteer program that pairs caring adults with youth in the Tulsa area to provide them with one-on-one support and friendship. The program, originally known as 1 to 1 Volunteer Services, was created in 1970 and has since become affiliated with the national Big Brothers of America and Big Sisters International programs. Youth in the program are typically ages 8-16 and may come from one-parent homes or face other challenges. Adults interested in volunteering must go through a screening process and commit to spending at least 3 hours a week with their matched youth. The program aims to provide positive role models and support for young people in need.
