We are not merely a Non-Profit organization – we are a Social Profit organization.
Our “profits” are kids who stay in school, avoid drug and alcohol abuse, improve academic performance, avoid gang violence and stay out of the juvenile justice system. Replicating this process for thousands of local children and volunteers each and every year, we begin to move and re-shape our community. In the end we are one community on a journey of faith, hope and charity.
Big Brothers Big Sisters needs YOU.
Big Brothers Big Sisters receives 75% of our funding from private donations. Support from individuals like you is vital to provide mentors for children in your community.
And we know they need them. It isn’t easy being a kid these days. In these complex and confusing times, children need a caring adult to be a mentor and a friend — someone they can talk to, have fun with, and learn from.
Research shows that our mentoring works. Kids with a Big Brother or Big Sister show real differences in their personal and academic lives. They are:
- More confident in their schoolwork performance
- Able to get along better with their families
- 52% less likely to skip school. 1
