Our mentors work with children in the community, in their schools, on military bases, and many places in between.
Our unique brand of one-to-one mentoring has a Big impact all over the nation.
Big Brothers Big Sisters helps children achieve success in school, helps them avoid risky behaviors such as getting into fights and trying drugs and alcohol, and helps them improve their self-confidence. We hold ourselves accountable to our supporters by regularly measuring our impact

WHAT DO WE DO?Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

Mission Statement
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yellowstone County creates and supports one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.
Description
We make meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers ("Bigs") and children ("Littles"), ages 5 through young adult throughout Yellowstone County. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people. Our one-to-one mentoring relationships support the critical social and emotional development needed to help build resilience and promote the mental health and well-being of hundreds of youth in Yellowstone County. Big Brothers Big Sisters is the ONLY prevention program in Montana proven to affect a broad spectrum of risk factors (i.e. delinquency; alcohol, tobacco and drug use; teen pregnancy; and school dropout) while simultaneously helping children reach their highest potential. As such, the return on investment is higher across the board than dollars invested in single issue prevention programs.
