Testimonials
You’ll feel the impact as much as your child. A study for Big Brothers Big Sisters found that kids matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister.
Kevin & Dorian
Matched Since 2017
Kevin and Dorian have been matched for years. Each year their favorite activities change, but their friendship does not. Dorian knows he can count on Kevin no matter what and is comfortable telling him anything knowing.
Imagine the impact you simply take the time to connect with a young person in your community. When you're matched with a mentee, it's not about changing your schedule, it's about sharing who you are...
