Apply to be a big

Hurray! You’re taking the first step to play it forward as a Big in our community. Thank you.

Here’s what you’ll need to complete your application in about 10-15 minutes:

  • Your driver’s license number and expiration date
  • Three (3) references + name, email, phone for each
    • Spouse/live-in partner/relative
    • Close friend of 2 years or more
    • Work, school, or personal reference

You’ll hear from BBBSEMO within two (2) business days. Your next step is to complete a short 15 minute video orientation and questionaire. Then, you'll hear from a team member to schedule your volunteer interview. For ease of scheduling, interviews are mostly virtual.

Questions? Please contact Percy Baldwin, Mentor Recruiter, at pbaldwin@bbbsemo.org or (314) 615-1084. Or you can schedule a time to chat here. For FAQs and more details, visit our Volunteer page.
