There are over 75 million children in the U.S., and nearly 10 million of them are at risk. What if every child fulfilled his or her potential? As the nation's largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers ("Bigs") and children ("Littles")
Research has shown that positive relationships between youth and their Big Brothers and Big Sisters mentors have a direct and measurable impact on children's lives. By participating in Big Brothers and Big Sisters' youth mentoring programs, Little Brothers and Sisters, compared to their peers who did not participate in the program, are more confident in their schoolwork performance, able to get along better with their families, less likely to begin using illegal drugs, less likely to begin using alcohol, and less likely to skip to school.
