A Big Brother or Big Sister volunteer can act as a mentor or a role model.
Caring adults make a difference.
For over 90 years, putting caring adults in the lives of children. It's our unique approach to youth development. As the largest national network of mentoring organizations serving children, families and communities, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America has a vision to develop the resources, envionment and mechanisms to provide caring adults in the life of every child in need. Our work is as elementary as putting a friend in a child's life, and as essential as putting hope into a child's future. To achieve our vision we will continue to build on our century long history of commitment to excellence and of valuing all individuals, respecting their efforts, abilities and differences.
