"When I am with my Big Brother I feel like I've never felt before. My Big Brother is like a giant gorilla who protects me."

Our Mission
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound partners with actively involved community members to match caring adults with children, both of whom benefit from our one-to-one mentoring programs.

Our Mentoring Works
National research has shown that the positive relationships between youth and their Big Brothers and Big Sisters have a direct and measurable impact on children's lives. Little Brothers and Sisters are:

  • More confident in their schoolwork performance
  • Able to get along better with their families
  • 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
  • 27% less likely to begin using alcohol
  • 52% less likely to skip school

Nationally, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been recognized as a BluePrint For Violence Prevention by the University of Colorado at Boulder and by Forbes Magazine as one of the top ten most efficient charities at focusing its resources on its mission.
