Our ProgramsBig Brothers Big Sisters serves more than 225,000 children, ages five through 18, in 5,000 communities across all 50 states. There are two core Big Brothers Big Sisters programs: Big Brothers Big Sisters: Community-based "My Big Sister Renee teaches me how to cook. And the other day, I made taco salad for my whole family!"
Little Sister Naquesia Volunteers provide Littles with one-to-one time and attention in their communities, typically two to four times a month. During these unstructured outings they cultivate relationships that provide children with skills to manage every day challenges. Through simple friendship, Bigs experience the joy of helping children discover a world of possibilities and opportunities. Big Brothers Big Sisters: Site-based  "I love it when my Big Sister Laura is coming to eat lunch with me at school. I get to sit at a special table, and we always share Little Debbie treats. We like the Swiss Cake Rolls best!" Little Sister Brandi Volunteers provide Littles with one-on-one time and attention in their schools, typically once a week during the academic year. Teachers identify children who can benefit most from interaction with a caring adult. As their friendships evolve, volunteers and children discover ways to make school and learning fun.
