Super Sib FAQ
Who is eligible to join?
If you are a Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s, or Holy Cross College undergraduate or graduate student who has a brother or sister with special needs and you are willing to mentor a child you qualify.

Children who are between the ages of 7 and 14 years of age who have a brother or sister with mental retardation, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, Down Syndrome, Autism, Williams Syndrome, a learning disability, or any other type of disability are eligible to join. Your commitment to your college sib will be approximately 5 hours per month. The cost of each activity is typically $2 or $3 which covers food costs or part of a ticket cost. Please contact Nichole Maguire for a Super Sibs application.
What does the club do?
Twice per month usually in the evening or on a weekend, we meet to bowl, ice skate, eat pizza, go to Chuck E. Cheese, and chat about sibling issues. College sibs and little sibs are encouraged to be active in their sib’s lives outside of the regular club events. Sibs should call each other weekly, go to each other’s games or spend an afternoon together occasionally.
Who can I contact?
