About Us.

Our Mission:

To help children reach their potential through professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships with measurable impact.

 

Our Vision:

To provide a professionally supervised and high quality mentor for every child in our service area who desires to have a mentoring relationship. 

 

Who We Are:

Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) is America's pre-eminent youth service organization with a proven success in creating and nurturing friendships between adults and children.

 

Who Are the Littles?

"Littles" range in age from 6 to 18 years old. Little Brothers and Little Sisters are just regular children with varied personalities, wishes and dreams. Like all of us, they need praise for things they do well, and encouragement for things they don’t do so well. They need rules, but also need to know it’s ok to take some positive risks. One thing they all have in common is they agree that having a Big would be great!

 

Who Are the Bigs?

Volunteers, "Bigs," are adults of all ages, from all walks of life, who are positively affected by sharing everyday activities with their "Littles." They enjoy exploring new horizons and finding magic in the simplest moments.

**Volunteers are thoroughly screened, trained, and supported by the BBBS Staff.
