Our mission is to help children in need reach their full potential through professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships with volunteers.

Our vision is to have mentoring relationships for all children who need and want them, contributing to better schools, brighter futures, and stronger communities for all.

Nutmeg Big Brothers Big Sisters was founded in 1965 and is the largest of the 3 Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations in the State of Connecticut. Our service area is made up of 111 towns and cities in Hartford, Tolland, Windham and Middlesex counties. We are based in Hartford. We will serve more than 2,000 children this year. In addition to our core program, we also offer the Foster Grandparents Program. This gives seniors, 60-years-of-age and over, a way to help provide person to person contact in health, education, welfare and other areas to young people in schools and day care centers.
