The Big Brothers Big Sisters Mission is to help children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships with measurable impact.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is currently in the process of implementing a strategic plan. The goal of this plan for the agency is to double the number of children, served to 3,000 children by 2012, to reach more of the overwhelming need in our community. For more information on our strategic plan and our vision for the future, please contact James Tolliver.
