Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod & the Islands is making a real difference in the lives of more than 350 youth on the Cape and Martha’s Vineyard. With more than 100 children waiting for mentors, there is a continued need for caring adult volunteers, specifically male volunteers.

One waiting Little, Michael, interviewed almost 2 years ago.

Eleven year old Michael lives in Barnstable and is eager to find a Big Brother! He’s active, energetic and enjoys the outdoors. He loves all sports, but basketball and football are his favorites. While Michael may be a little shy at first, he opens up and is rather talkative once you get to know him!

When asked why he wants a Big, Michael responded with “I want a Big Brother who I can hang out with and have fun!” He’s hoping to play basketball, throw the football around, and enjoy the outdoors with his Big!

Michael would benefit from a Big Brother and having an additional, positive adult in his life to help boost his confidence and explore the outdoors!
