Big Brothers and Big Sisters is all about the power of friendship and fun. You don't need special skills, tons of time, or children of your own to be involved. You just have to be willing to be a kid again.

78% of kids with mentors go to college, more than non-mentored kids from average households. So come on. Having fun with kids makes a huge difference.

Find out how easy it is to be a mentor.

The Magic of Mentoring

Something amazing happens when kids get a mentor. 91% feel better about themselves. 76% do better in school. 82% make better connections with adults, and 90% get along better with their peers.

We work hard to connect your kids with the best mentor for them. That way they have fewer obstacles to keep them from reaching their dreams.

Discover the process and benefits of matching your child with a mentor.
