The Big Help is a community outreach program made famous in 1994 by Nickelodeon. Kids who volunteered in their community 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 them to be BIG HELPERS IN ACTION.
It was also an event in which kids from around the country would call in to try to get one of their local parks refurbished by Nickelodeon, the ten with the most votes would get refurbished by Nickelodeon in an eight-hour special. There were special instances like the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack where they had unscheduled specials. In 2008, a sequel emerged called The Big Green Help, which was created to promote messages of environmentalism. The name “The Big Help” came back in 2010.
