Lafayette, LA: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Acadiana is kicking off our 2021 Big Draft Recruitment Campaign, and teaming up with the NFL to inspire change because now is the time! Now that the Super Bowl is over and the search is underway for the next NFL recruits, our search for potential Bigs is just getting started, too.

We are launching The Big Draft to recruit more Bigs, and on April 30th, 2021 we’ll introduce the ‘draft picks’ from the season. Interested potential mentors can join us for one of our Virtual Info Sessions at acadianabigs.com/bigdraft. Those who complete a Virtual Info Session and schedule an interview, will receive a VIP invite to our Big Draft Celebration on April 30th. More details on our Big Draft Celebration, presented by Coldwell Banker- Trahan Real Estate Group are coming soon.

For thirty-five years now, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Acadiana has been reaching out to the youth of our community, serving at-risk children from primarily single parent homes. We do this by matching volunteer adult role models in one-to-one mentoring relationships with these children. The “matches” spend time together a few times each month doing activities they both enjoy. This can range from anything like fishing – to baking brownies – to playing in the park. When a volunteer becomes a “Big,” he/she commits to a minimum of one year with their “Little;” however, many of our matches choose to continue for several years thereafter. The experience of the relationship shared between “Bigs” and “Littles” is often life-changing . . . for both the child and the volunteer. For more information, please visit www.acadianabigs.com.
