Welcome to Big Brothers Big Sisters

of Butler County, Ohio!

Do you remember a special person who brought excitement to the everyday, broadened your horizons and put little moments of magic into your life? By becoming a volunteer mentor, you can do the same for a child, and you will both be forever changed by the experience!

Children need adult friends to help guide them through life's many obstacles. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butler County has a rich history of nurturing friendships between caring adult volunteers and children. For over 40 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has made a difference in the lives of thousands of Butler County youth through our mentoring programs.

• 46% less likely to start using illegal drugs.
• 33% less likely to use violence to solve problems.
• 97% less likely to be involved with juvenile authorities.
