To inspire and enable, through character development, all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

The Brigade Boys & Girls Club's Big Buddy Program matches caring adult mentors with youth who are at-risk in the Wilmington, NC area. The mentors work in conjunction with our afterschool program.

The Program aims to prevent juvenile crime while improving the academic performance and confidence of our Little Buddies.
