Defending Potential

Mentoring helps create positive outcomes and can have a phenomenal impact on a child's developmental and emotional growth. It all starts with the right role models. Big Brothers Big Sisters is just the place to start a relationship with one. 
​
You’ll feel the impact as much as your child.
​A study for Big Brothers Big Sisters found that kids matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister:
  • are more confident
  • are more likely to steer clear of drugs and alcohol
  • do better in school
  • get along better with their family and friends
  • feel better about themselves

Parents wanted.
You know what’s best for your child. So we’ll need your help from the start, providing information about your child’s strengths and needs, and ultimately approving the Big Brother or Big Sister match. But your role doesn’t end there.
