Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Gulf Coast is the leading one-to-one mentoring organization in south Alabama and Mississippi. Each year, we serve more than 600 children and positively impact over 1,800 individuals across seven counties. 

 

Our mission is simple but powerful: to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. We match caring adult volunteers—our “Bigs”—with children ages 6 to 15—our “Littles”—who can benefit most from a consistent, positive role model. Every Big is carefully screened and trained to provide the guidance, encouragement, and accountability their Little needs to grow in confidence, make healthy choices, and reach their full potential.

WHY IT MATTERS

Mentorship is a proven solution. Evidence shows that young people with mentors are more likely to graduate high school, enroll in college, and develop the resilience needed to overcome life’s challenges.
