Mission Statement
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area has improved the lives of thousands of children in our local communities by matching them with positive role models in long-term, one-to-one mentoring relationships since 1958.
Our mission is to help children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships that provide measurable impact.
Description
For over 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been the nation's preeminant national youth organization. A study of Public/Private Ventures compared the mentees enrolled in our program to their peers and found that our mentees were less likely to start doing drugs, less likely to drop out of school, less likely to become a teen parent, and less likely to get arrested. We invite you to help ensure our continued impact on the community by applying to be a volunteer!
