We match caring adults with children in need for meaningful mentoring relationships. The children in our program range from 5 to 17 years old and come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are orphans, while others live in single-parent homes and simply lack a role model other than their single parent. A Big Brother or Big Sister is someone to talk to, confide in and, above all, a friend and mentor who can help a child find answers to some of the BIG questions about life. Our long-standing mentoring program has shown that by spending a few hours a month with a child in need, you can make a world of difference in his or her future. Children in our programs perform better academically, exhibit an increase in self-esteem and confidence and become more involved in sports and other hobbies.
