Big Brothers Big Sisters is proven to help children in need, families, and communities by providing one-to-one mentoring services that help kids beat the odds.  According to the Public/Private Ventures (P/PV) study, our one-to-one matches truly make an impact in children's lives. A Big Brothers Big Sisters’ match is carefully administered and held to the strictest standards. Our agency strives for matches that are not only safe and well suited to each child’s needs, but also harmonious and built to last. The entire matching process, from the initial screening to the final pairing—and beyond—is made possible by your financial support.
​
But don’t just think of us as simply matchmakers. We provide ongoing support and supervision to the Big, the Little, and the Little’s family. We offer training and advice to help ensure that the match is working for everyone involved. Our agency receives ongoing training and consulting from the Big Brothers Big Sisters National Office. This web of support helps maximize the likelihood that a Big Brothers Big Sisters relationship will thrive.

At Big Brothers Big Sisters, our vision is for all children to achieve success in life.  Our mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.  By partnering with parent/guardians, volunteers, and others in the community we are accountable for each child in our program achieving: higher aspirations, greater confidence, better relationships, avoidance of risky behaviors, and educational success.
