Our mission is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.

We accomplish our mission by partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers and others in the community, and we hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program achieving: 

- Higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships;
- Avoidance of risky behaviors; and
- Educational success.

Big Brothers Big Sisters helps vulnerable children break negative odds. Our professionally supported volunteer services are proven to reduce children’s risk of dropping out of school, becoming violent, using drugs and alcohol, and falling victim to other negative cycles. We recognize the hardship, pain, and challenges that children experience in too many of our communities. Our movement is relevant and there’s an urgent demand for what we achieve. Serving 13 counties in Northeast Indiana and South Central Michigan, we serve more than 1,800 annually.
