Description
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bath/Brunswick is an agency affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, a national federation of organizations serving children, families and communities. Since 1981, we have matched adult and teen mentors to children who are primarily from single-parent and low income households. Currently we serve children in Brunswick, Harpswell and Sagadahoc County through our Community, School and Site-Based programs. These programs match children "Littles" with adult "Bigs," who act as mentors by providing friendship, support and guidance during the child’s critical childhood and adolescent years.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bath/Brunswick is a 501-(C)3 non-profit organization. We do not receive any state or federal funding and our budget depends on funds from private donors, fundraising events, corporate partners and an annual stipend from the United Way of Mid Coast Maine. Our major annual fundraisers are Bowl for Kids’ Sake each spring and The Big Swing Charity Golf Tournament each fall.
