We believe when every young person has access to a positive mentor, it transforms their lives for the better - empowering them with a stronger sense of belonging and the oppurtunity to achieve their full potential.
Access
We provide access to positive mentorship for every young person who needs us.
No matter their background, experiences, circumstances, or needs, we are committed to ensuring every young person has a positive mentor.
We meet young people where they are.
Recognizing and valuing who they are, where they live and how they connect, we create access to resources, people, and opportunities that meet young people where they are.
Belonging
We create a community that fosters connection.
When young people are a part of Big Brothers Big Sisters, they gain a supportive village and meaningful connections empowering them to reach their full potential.
We safeguard youth and cultivate the trust.
With the support of a caring mentor, youth feel a sense of belonging - connected to who they are, to what community represents, and to where they can go.
We consider safety and well-being to be holistic, including emotional and physical safety, risk reduction, and safe relationships and environments—all core components of youth well-being.
oppurtunity
We empower young people to learn, lead and grow.
Whether in a workplace, a school, or in the community, we empower young people through relationships that give them the confidence and skills to navigate life and thrive.
