Changing Perspectives. Changing Lives.
Since 1977, Big Brothers Big Sisters Services has served more than 20,000 children in Forsyth and Davie counties. Today, more than 300 children are enrolled in our Community-based, Site-based, and C.O.U.L. programs.
For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation’s largest donor- and volunteer-supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”), ages 6 through 18, in communities across the country. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.
OUR MISSION
Create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.
OUR VISION
All youth achieve their full potential.
ACCOUNTABILITY
By partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers, and others in the community we are accountable for each child in our program achieving:
• Higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships
• Avoidance of risky behaviors
• Educational success
DIVERSITY
We recognize, affirm, and celebrate the diverse backgrounds, lives, and experiences of all of our stakeholders, including youth, families, donors, volunteers, and staff.
