Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest and largest youth mentoring organization in the US, matching over 200,000 children with adult mentors annually. Research shows their mentoring programs significantly improve school attendance, academic performance, and social-emotional outcomes for participating youth.
All Big Brothers Big Sisters programs are completely free to families. Mentors are volunteers who are carefully screened, background-checked, and trained before being matched with a child.
If your child would benefit from a positive adult role model outside the family - especially children in single-parent households or those going through difficult transitions - Big Brothers Big Sisters provides carefully screened and trained mentors at no cost to families.
