our impact on children

Bigs and Littles have fun together — and create memories that last a lifetime. They share everyday activities - catching a first fish or reading a book all the way through - which blossoms into a relationship that expands the child's horizons and helps them to make better decisions, improve their school work, and establish goals for themselves.  Littles in our program are:

• More likely to feel good about themselves
• More likely to get along with their families and peers
• More confident of their performance in schoolwork

For years Rico lacked confidence because he felt no one believed in him. Chuck came into his life and told him “you should expect more from yourself — I do.”  Confidence is contagious and now Rico figures there’s nothing he can’t do!
