About BBBS
Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) is dedicated to unlocking the full potential of youth through life-changing, professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships. Our mission is simple: to ignite the power and promise of young people, ensuring they graduate with a plan for their future and a mentor whose impact will last a lifetime.
For over 120 years, BBBS has been a champion for children across the nation, working within local communities to help youth achieve:
- Enhanced socio-emotional skills
- Greater academic success
- A reduction in risky behaviors
The power of mentorship is undeniable. After just 12 months with a Big, 40% of Littles show significant improvement in school performance, while 20% experience a decrease in depressive symptoms. These are the real, measurable outcomes made possible by your support.
As a leader in the mentoring field, BBBS takes pride in being fully donor and volunteer-supported, with no fees charged for services. All funds raised go straight to supporting youth in our community. Together, we can Defend the Potential of every young person by connecting them with a caring mentor and creating relationships that truly last a lifetime.
