What if every child fulfilled their potential? Think how amazing that would be. Now, you can start more Littles on the path to big things. We need volunteers across all cities in Los Angeles County NOW! Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is one of the most enjoyable things you'll ever do, not to mention one of the most fulfilling. You have the opportunity to help shape a child's future for the better by empowering them to achieve. The best part is it's a lot of fun. You and your Little can share the kinds of activities you already like to do. Play Sports together. Go on a hike. Read books. Eat a pizza with extra anchovies. Or just give some advice and inspiration. Whatever it is you enjoy, odds are you'll enjoy them even more with your Little - and you'll be making a life-changing impact.For a few hours, a couple times a month, you can give a Little the invaluable gift of your friendship. By simply changing their perspective of what the world can offer, you can literally start changing their lives.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
Description
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles makes meaningful, professionally-supported matches between adult volunteers ("Bigs") and children ("Littles"), ages 6 through 18, throughout Greater Los Angeles. Many of the youth in this program come from extremely challenging circumstances at home, at school or in their neighborhood, yet they have enormous potential. With the support of their mentors, these students are beating the odds in BIG ways - many of them being the first in their family to go to college. 96% of the youth who have a Big Brother or Big Sister are graduating from high school and 94% of them are going on to pursue higher education. Founded by Walt Disney and Meredith Willson in 1955, BBBSLA is a leading non-profit in the Los Angeles community.
