Get Involved with Mentoring
Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest and largest youth mentoring organization in the world. Trained professionals recruit, screen, match, and support Bigs and Littles through a network of 400 agencies throughout the country, and these one-to-one mentoring relationships have documented positive outcomes for children.
Bigs and Littles, and their families, are from all walks of life and are as diverse as all of America. What our Littles have in common is a desire to have a Big, an extra caring adult in their life. What Bigs have in common is a willingness to share some fun with a young person.
BBBSLR staff take great care in matching together a child and volunteer with similar interests, hobbies, and personality traits – Bigs consistently say they get even more out of being matched than their Littles!
