Big Brothers Big Sisters
Potential is Everywhere.
At Big Brothers Big Sisters, we know that there is potential in every child, and we are here to defend it. Stand with us. Igniting the power and promise of youth through one-to-one friendship, guidance, and opportunities.
Big Brothers Big Sisters seeks to change the lives and futures of children in our community - today and forever. Big Brothers Big Sisters programs inspire children to realize their full potential and build brighter futures by providing strong and enduring, professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships. This opens up new perspectives for children by offering friendship, guidance and opportunities with caring volunteers.
It Takes Little to Be Big.
By partnering with families, volunteers, and others in the community, we strive to help children achieve their biggest possible future. But we have good news... It doesn't take much to make a Big Difference. It all starts with a Little.
We nurture children and strengthen communities. Whether you get involved as a donor, volunteer, partner, advocate, or family member… You have the power to be a part of something Big.
Changing perspectives. Changing lives.
Our one-to-one mentoring relationships support the critical social and emotional development needed to help build resilience and promote the mental health and well-being of hundreds of children we serve across the western Upper Peninsula. Now more than ever, we are stepping up to find innovative ways in serving our community to #KeepKidsConnected.
Our Service Area includes BARAGA, HOUGHTON, KEWEENAW, ONTONAGON & GOGEBIC Counties in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula and IRON County, Wisconsin.
