OVER 30,000 Kids are waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister
Sometimes the wait is as long as two years.
Help us end the wait.
BECOME A BIG
Becoming a Big is more important now than ever as we all navigate the challenges and changes in our daily lives. Kids in your community need Bigs like you to bring support and instill confidence as we all navigate this challenging time.
Big Brothers Big Sisters serves young people from age five through young adulthood in one-to-one mentoring friendships. Bigs and Littles hang out a few times a month for a few hours doing normal, everyday activities, like seeing a movie, doing homework, playing games, or just going out to eat!
Each match is supported by a dedicated Match Support Specialist who is always there to provide resources and support specific to the Little's age. With a Big in their life, Littles in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program are empowered to ignite their potential as they grow in their self-esteem, earn better grades, and develop a lifelong friendship with their Big.
Big Brothers Big Sisters joins Macy’s, on its mission to create a brighter future with bold representation for all. We stand with Mission Every One and their commitment to use their business and brands to tackle the barriers to representation so, together, we can realize the potential of every one of us. Together we will empower the curiosity and confidence of young people on their journey to become the leaders of tomorrow.
Join Macy’s and Big Brothers Big Sisters to end the wait for all youth seeking a mentor.
