Mission Statement

Description

For 35 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Delaware has been a preeminemt youth-serving organization. Our service is based on a one-to-one relationship between an adult volunteer and a child who needs extra adult attention and guidance. Volunters serve as friends, mentors, and role models, helping children (who are primarily from single-parent homes) gain greater self-confidence. "Bigs" encourage "Littles" to realize their potential and to see themselves as having happy and successful futures.

50 years ago, my big brother was Roy Short field rep for B.B. in sussex county. My time with him at age 11 - 14 is still paying dividends at age 61. I was fatherless living with my grandparents and getting in alot of trouble, ALOT OF TROUBLE !!! My grandparents were awesome but I was blazing trails , not good ones. Trying to re-connect with Roy if possible. Big Brothers is awesome
