• Detailed Information

  • The purpose of Bg Brothers Big Sisters is for each enrolled child to achieve higher aspirations, greater confidence, better relationships, educational success and avoidance of risky behaviors. National research has shown that being in a positive relationship with a volunteer mentor (we refer to them as “Bigs”) has a direct and measurable benefit in a child’s life (we refer to the children in our program as “Littles”).
