Big Brothers Big Sisters seeks to make a positive difference in the lives of children by promoting their self esteem, expanding their awareness of life's opportunities, and providing them with guidance and support through a one-on-one relationship with a caring adult.
Being a Big is easy! It means being yourself and sharing the best part of yourself with a friend. It means a chance to gain a new friend, and see the world-and be seen- through fresh new eyes.
No matter where you are in life, being a Big will make it even better.
