Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee mission is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. Our vision is that all youth achieve their full potential. The youth Big Brothers Big Sisters serves in Milwuakee and Waukesha counties have emormous potential. They are smart, motivated, and strong, but they ofter face challenges in their lives. Many come from single parent household and live in low-income and high-crime neighborhoods. Many face pressure from their peers to participate in risky behavior. Often, it takes just one additional caring adult to support youth and help them achieve long-term success. For over 40 years Big Brothers Big Sisters' mentoring program has made a positive impace in the lives of youth by creating and supporting strong, long-lasting one-to-one relationships between children and volunteer adult mentors that consistently lead to positive youth outcomes. Our mentors empower youth to reach their full potential by succeeding in school, making healthy and responsible choices, growing socially and emotionally, developing positive relationships, building confidence, cultivating interests, and growing aspirations.
