Careers in tech are the future & you can help youth be a part of it.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound and Amazon partnered to create a workplace mentoring program called Bigs In Tech. Bigs In Tech connects Amazon staffers like you with local 6th graders to help them learn about careers in technology, reinforce social emotional skills, and build solid 1 on 1 relationships. All Amazonians are welcome – you don’t have to be a developer to be a “Big in Tech!”

What People Say

“My Little has the crayon box, and she just needs help to identify the colors. Yes, being in the corner as a Big is important, but kids are doing the thing. […] Whatever she does next is going to be brilliant. It doesn’t even matter if it takes her a while … like the opportunity to witness that was just like … oh, my gosh.”

Anonymous Big Sister

“Having a Big is awesome! It’s like having this incredible friend who’s got my back, helping me navigate the world, and teaching me valuable life lessons.”

Anonymous High School Little
