Give your child the gift of a mentor — and a new friend. In our own lives, each of us have been touched by someone, other than our parents, who have broadened our horizons and brought magic to our lives. Our experienced approach to recruiting, screening, matching and supporting our mentoring relationships has resulted in thousands of lasting relationships, and helped change the lives of young people across the Mississippi Valley.

Our Impact.

A study on the Big Brothers Big Sisters youth organization found that kids matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister:

• Are more confident
• Are more likely to steer clear of drugs and alcohol
• Do better in school
• Get along better with their family and friends
• Feel better about themselves. ¹

Parents are our Partners.

We’ll work closely with you because your input is important. Not only do you provide information about your child’s strengths and needs, but you approve the selection of the Big Brother or Big Sister. Once the match is made, parents remain closely involved in many ways.
