There are boys waiting for a Big Brother just like you
Defenders of Potential
Since 1982 Big Brothers Big Sisters’ professional staff have matched local children who are facing adversity with safe, positive mentors in one to one mentoring relationships. The proven results of these wonderful friendships are improved grades and behavior; decreased use of tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs; increased self esteem, confidence, better relationships with adults and peers, higher aspirations, and caring about others. Today’s youth face a variety of challenges and being matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister can help them navigate these challenges and reach their full potential.
