GET A BIG

Connect Your Child With a Mentor

Arm your child with another awesome adult. Life is hard – we all experience ups and downs, and we know the more people you have in your corner, the better. We’d love the opportunity to provide your child with another positive adult role model to help them ignite their potential.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Mississippi Valley supports children and teens who want and need a mentor. We match Littles in kindergarten through 9th grade with caring Bigs in life-changing relationships. Bigs and Littles spend time together 2–4 times a month, either at school or out in the community – doing simple, everyday activities like playing games, grabbing a bite to eat, or joining BBBSMV group events.

With a Big in their life, children and teens in the BBBSMV program are empowered to ignite their potential as they grow in their self-esteem, earn better grades, and develop a lifelong friendship with their Big.
