It all starts with the right role models. Big Brothers Big Sisters is the place to start a relationship with a committed role model. For over 100 years, due in large part to private donations, we’ve been able to recruit, screen, match and support mentoring relationships that have changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people across the country — one Little at a time.
You’ll feel the impact as much as your child.
A study for Big Brothers Big Sisters found that children matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister are more confident, are more likely to steer clear of drugs and alcohol, and do better in school while getting along better with their family and friends.
A Parent’s Role Matters
You know what’s best for your child. So we’ll need your help from the start, providing information about your child’s strengths and needs, and ultimately approving the Big Brother or Big Sister match. But your role doesn’t end there.
Child Safety Always!
Your child’s safety is extremely important to us. Big Brothers Big Sisters conducts a thorough background check on every volunteer in our program, and every relationship is closely monitored and supported by a professionally trained match specialist.
