“One mentor can change a life forever. I encourage all of our citizens to dedicate their time and talents to mentoring a young person.”

George W. Bush

A "Big" and a "Little" match in the site-based program at Plainfield South High School.

Our Programs

Kids in our program are between 7 and 13 when matched. They may need help building self-esteem, improving school performance or connecting with someone they can trust. Mostly, these kids need a caring adult friend who makes them feel special.

We review the children on our waiting list and match volunteers with a Little Brother or Little Sister who has similar interests and personality traits. We always review the child's profile with both the volunteer and family before making a final match—friendships are based on common values and interests.

Big Brothers Big Sisters has programs available for busy people of all ages! Learn more about our various volunteer options today or contact us for more information.
