Big Brothers Big Sisters of the National Capital Area is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children through professionally supported, long-term, One-to-One® mentoring relationships.
Since 1949, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the National Capital Area (BBBSNCA) has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the Washington region’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, BBBSNCA makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”), ages 7 – 18 years old, in communities across the National Capital Area. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.
Big Brothers Big Sisters helps children make healthy choices daily, push themselves academically, stay out of trouble, and stay on track toward happy and productive futures.
