CHANGE A CHILD'S LIFE - AND YOUR OWN.
Being a Big is simple, powerful, and life-changing — for both of you. Start Your Journey
As a Big Brother or Big Sister, you can positively influence a young person by being a trusted presence—a gift that they’ll benefit from throughout their life. Mentorship has been proven to be one of the most powerful and beneficial ways to improve the odds for a young person and transform their life trajectory. Through our unique approach to one-to-one mentoring, we match you with a Little who needs the support and wisdom you can offer them, and we make sure you’re equipped with everything you need to make a big impact in their life—whether or not you had a mentor yourself at their age. By becoming a Big, you can be a part of a nationwide movement to empower young people to successfully navigate the opportunity deserts confronting their generation and to realize their full potential. You can help them become dreamers, doers, and leaders who are empowered to change our society for the better.
