Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Florida (BBBSNEFL) is a mentoring organization that seeks to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. Working within the communities of Northeast Florida for over a century, BBBSNEFL has effectively changed the lives of thousands through impactful mentoring programs and meaningful relationships.

BBBSNEFL operates under the belief inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. Through collaboration with schools and community organizations, we identify at-risk youth who need or want a mentor. By placing a caring adult in the life of a child, BBBSNEFL creates safe, high-quality, long-lasting mentoring relationships that help vulnerable youth beat the odds and reach their full potential through personal and academic achievement.

Proceeds from The Little BIG Run 5K will benefit BBBSNEFL by contributing to the financial strength and stability of the agency. To learn more about BBBSNEFL and our programs, visit www.bbbsnefl.org.
