2016-2018 Big Brothers Big Sisters Youth Mentors

Big Brother Big Sister-Mentor

Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Mentoring Program http://www.fsw.org

About Big Brothers/Big Sisters 
FSW’s Big Brothers Big Sisters Program (BBBS), an affiliate of BBBS of America, helps children reach their potential through professionally supported one-to-one relationships with proven results.

Bigs and Littles have fun together — and create memories that last a lifetime. We call it “Little moments … Big magic.” Research points to the powerful, positive, lasting impact Bigs have on children’s lives. 

Littles are:

  • 52% less likely to skip school
  • 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
  • More likely to get along with their families and peers

How You Can Help
Make a difference in a child's life and become a mentor. Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is one of the most fulfilling and enjoyable things you will ever do. It’s easy, too. Your Little can join you for the kinds of activities you already like to

do, such as:

  • Shoot some hoops
  • Play a board game
  • Go to the movies
  • Share a pizza
  • Take a walk in the park
  • Or just hang out together and talk

Just a few hours a month can change a young person’s life.

We provide a thorough orientation and training in building mentor relationships and working constructively with youth. On-going support by dedicated staff is provided to the mentor, mentee and mentee's family. Become a Big and help to Start Something Big in a child’s life that will last a lifetime. Help us to change children’s lives, one child at a time.
