When people think of mentoring, they think of Big Brothers Big Sisters. That’s because for more than 100 years we’ve worked to develop a youth mentoring program that works. Our experienced approach to recruiting, screening, matching and supporting our mentoring relationships has resulted in thousands of lasting relationships, and helped change the lives of young people across the country.
Our Impact.
Children matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister:
-
Are more confident
-
Are more likely to steer clear of drugs and alcohol
-

-

-
Feel better about themselves. 1
Parents are our Partners.
We’ll work closely with you; your input is important. Not only do you provide information about your child’s strengths and needs, but you approve the selection of the Big Brother or Big Sister. Once the match is made, parents remain closely involved throughout the life of the match.
Your child's safety is very important to us.
Big Brothers Big Sisters utilizes a thorough screening process that includes background checks on every volunteer, in-person interviews, references and training. Every match is regularly monitored and supported by a professional Match Support Specialist.
