Being a Big Brother or Sister is one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling things you’ll ever do — you can empower a child to fulfill their potential. It’s more important now than ever as kids increasingly struggle with new pressures, they need Bigs like you to bring support and instill confidence.
Big Brothers Big Sisters serves young people from age five through young adulthood in one-to-one mentoring friendships. Bigs and Littles hang out 4-6 times a month for a few hours doing normal, everyday activities, like seeing a movie, doing homework, playing games, going on a hike, or just hanging out.
Each match is supported by a dedicated Match Support Specialist who is always there to provide resources and support specific to the Little’s age. With a Big in their life, Littles ignite their potential as they grow in their self-esteem, earn better grades, and develop a lifelong friendship with their Big.
