Our mission is to make a positive, measurable difference in the lives of children by promoting self-esteem, expanding awareness of life's opportunities, and providing education, guidance, and support through professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships.

For as little as one hour a week, you can make a big difference in the life of a child. Children and youth who are paired with a Big Brother or Big Sister are more likely to succeed in school and less likely to get involved in risky behaviors. They also feel more self-confident and even have a better outlook on their own future.
