Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest, largest and most effective youth mentoring organization in the United States. We have been the leader in one-to-one youth service for more than a century, developing positive relationships that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young people. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Nashua serves children, ages 6 through 18, in sixteen communities across Southern New Hampshire (Amherst, Atkinson, Brookline, Derry, Hollis, Hudson, Litchfield, Londonderry, Merrimack, Milford, Mont Vernon, Nashua, Plaistow, Salem, Wilton, and Windham).
The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Nashua's Mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of children who are primarily from single parent homes. This is accomplished by matching children with caring, committed volunteers from the community, in a professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationship.
