Description
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ozaukee County has been mentoring youth in Ozaukee County since 1974. We have served over 7,000 youth through our school and community-based programs in that time.
As a local affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, we are a nationally accredited, one-on-one mentoring program. "Bigs" are our mentors - the volunteers invested in helping at-risk "Littles" (our children) by providing mentoring friendships and support to children in need. The Ozaukee County children we serve are in grades K-12.
We use several programs to serve our "Littles," including our REACH (recreation, education, arts and culture, and health) Program, Community-based Program and our School-based program.
