Our
mission
Our mission
is to provide the highest quality volunteers and professional
services for children between the ages of 7-14 and primarily
from single parent homes to assist them in achieving their
greatest potential through one-to-one long-term, safe relationship
between the Big Brothers Big Sisters volunteers and the children.

Volunteer
as a family
Participating
as a Big Couple is an ideal way for a married couple to volunteer
together and help a child at the same time. Most of our couples
are matched with Little Brothers because we have so many on
the waiting list.

Brothers Big Sisters works!
A recent
independent study conducted by Public/Private Ventures (P/PV)
shows the success of our program. This study compared children
on the waiting list with those who had a Big Brother or Big
Sister. Those matched were:
- 46%
less likely to begin using illegal drugs
- 27%
less likely to begin using alcohol
- 52%
less likely to skip school
- 37%
less likely to skip a class
- 33%
less likely to hit someone
- More
confident in their performance in schoolwork
- Had
better relationships with their families
