Changing how our children grow up in 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, mentors create a positive impact in their life and help guide them to a better future.
It Works!
Youth involved in the Big Brothers Big Sisters programs are:
- More likely to avoid using illegal drugs or alcohol
- Less likely to skip school
- More confident of their performance in school
- More trusting of their parents/guardians and more likely to be honest with them
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 a few hours a month can change the life of a child.
