Big Brothers Big Sisters of Gallatin County

Description

Big Brothers Big Sisters focuses on matching a local child facing adversity with a caring, adult mentor who spends 2-3 hours per week with them. The days/times they spend together are outside of school and are dictated by the mentor and the family. Consistency is the main focus. The children enrolled in our program come from all walks of life and they face adversity either at school, with friends or family (or all of the above). Just a few hours per week can give a child the one-to-one time that helps them see their potential. With an extra person to look up to as a confidant, friend and role model, the children in our program get along better with family and friends, they do better in school and set higher goals for the future. Just knowing how much their mentor cares makes all the difference.
