Each time Big Brothers Big Sisters pairs a child with a role model, we start something incredible: a one-to-one relationship built on trust and friendship that can blossom into a future of unlimited potential. And thanks to the first-ever nationwide impact study of a mentoring organization, we have the facts to prove it.
- 78% Less likely to begin using illegal drugs.
- 58% Less likely to begin using alcohol.
- 64% Less likely to skip school.
- 61% Less likely to hit someone.
According to the study, our one-to-one matches are the driving force behind making an impact on children.
But don’t just think of us as simply matchmakers. We provide ongoing support and supervision to the Big, the Little, and the Little’s family. We offer training and advice to help ensure that the match is working for everyone involved. It is this web of support that helps maximize the likelihood that a Big Brothers Big Sisters relationship will thrive.
