Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa is a nonprofit organization that coordinates one-to-one mentoring relationships between youth and volunteer mentors, aiming to unlock young people’s potential. The program serves youths in Des Moines and the surrounding Central Iowa area, engaging parents or guardians and community volunteers to support each participant in pursuing higher aspirations, stronger self-confidence, better relationships, and educational success while steering away from risky behaviors. It operates within the nonprofit sector and pursues a mission centered on empowering youth, guided by a vision that all youth reach their full potential. The organization is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, and maintains a small to mid-sized team.

Notably, in 2023 the organization purchased a 10,500-square-foot building at 2130 Grand Avenue in Des Moines to convert into a dedicated mentoring center, reflecting a significant expansion of its facilities. BBBSIA also maintains ongoing community engagement through events such as Bowl for Kids' Sake and the Big Little Game Show, which support mentoring efforts and raise awareness of its work.
