Do you have 1 hour per week to spare for a child in our community? Our Site-based mentoring program matches volunteer Bigs with a child at a school or at an after-school program. During the Big and Little's time together, they can play board games, work on homework, eat a snack or lunch together, and play outside! All activities take place on the grounds of the school or after-school program.
Provide a student in your community with the extra support they need to succeed academically, socially, and personally. All it takes is one person who cares to make an impact on his/her life.

Mission Statement
Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest, largest and most effective youth mentoring organization in the United States. Our mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported 1-to-1 relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. Independent research shows that the Big Brothers Big Sisters model of professionally supported relationships between young people and their adult mentors has a direct, measurable and lasting impact. Children in our program perform better in school, are less likely to skip classes and school days, and more likely to avoid risky, unhealthy behaviors and have higher self-esteem and aspirations.
Description
Big Brothers Big Sisters holds itself accountable to demonstrating outcomes in three critical areas for our Little Brothers and Little Sisters:
