Our Work

Social Capital: 

Our roots stem from the fight for social justice. Over 100 years ago, Big Brothers Big Sisters was founded on the principle that every individual [regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, gender expression, ideology, income, national origin, race or sexual orientation, marital or veteran status] has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Our many initiatives help support our commitment.

Big Brothers Big Sisters knows that talent is distributed equally, but opportunity is not. Social capital looks at how mentoring can distribute equal opportunity for kids. Where mentors can share knowledge, experience and opportunities to further the growth of mentees so that every child has the opportunity to reach their highest potential in life.

Emotional Well Being: 

Volunteer mentors with Big Brothers Big Sisters provide consistent emotional support that promotes positive mental health in children by:
