The Big Help is a community outreach program created by Nickelodeon in 1994. The program featured children who volunteered in their community and reached out to let Nickelodeon know what they were doing. The network contacted some of them to create commercials for Nickelodeon about various volunteer opportunities to inspire other children to be big helpers in their communities.
