Big Brother Big Sisters makes a positive impact on the youth of our community by developing and implementing a wide range of mentoring programs. This includes one-to-one and group programs for both in-school and outside of school.

Serving as role models, our mentors teach by example the importance of giving and giving back, of staying in school, and having respect for family, peers and community. Each time we pair a child with a mentor or introduce a group of students to an in-school program we start something incredible-a life-changing relationship built on friendship, trust and empowerment.

Witnessing the transformation of a child into a confident, concerned and motivated young person is a remarkable thing. Ushering them into adulthood, seeing them grow into a successful, responsible member of the community and society at large is even more statisfying. Proudly, it is something our staff, volunteers and donors help bring about everyday, and we're grateful for their generiosty and support.
