About Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tucson
Big Brothers Big Sisters has been the nation's preeminent youth-service organization for nearly a century. Locally, we have provided high quality mentoring services since 1963! We have a proven success in creating lifelong impact through mentoring relationships between adults and children.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is more than just a good deed, it is a wise investment in our community's future. Just by spending time with a child, you will create a positive impact in their life and guide them to a better future. Look at the statistics! Youth involved in the Big Brothers Big Sisters programs are:
46% less likely to use illegal drugs
27% less likely to begin using alcohol
52% less likely to skip school
more confident of their performance in school
one-third less likely to hit someone, and
more trusting of their parents/guardians
Our service is based on our volunteers. A Big Brother or Big Sister is a one-to-one mentor to a child. They share everyday activities, expand horizons, and experience the joy in even the simplest of activities. Just two hours a month can change the life of a child.
Our Mission Statement: To create and support one-to-one adult-to-child mentor relationships guiding youth from a position of risk to one of achieving their highest potential.
We're changing how our children grow up in Tucson!
