Big Brothers Big Sisters creates and supports one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.
Our "Littles" (mentees) are youth between ages 7-16 and come from a variety of backgrounds. 86% of youth we serve come from low-or-moderate income families and 84% of youth we serve are from a non-two parent household. Our Littles want a Big and understand the role of a Big. Our "Bigs" (mentors) are adults volunteers who have a sincere interests in being a friend and role model to a child. Like our Littles, they come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.
