about us

We believe when every young person has access to a positive mentor, it transforms their lives for the better—empowering them with a stronger sense of belonging and the opportunity to achieve their full potential. 

As an organization, we are committed to ensuring every young person has a mentor, so we create programs of all kinds to ensure youth can access mentorship in the way that works best for them. 

This builds communities of belonging, where youth have the support and connection they need in order to thrive and succeed. It gives them the self-confidence to navigate life and the knowledge that the future is bright for them. 

In the end, transformation takes place for the individuals involved but also for our economy and our society as a whole. 

That's the power of mentoring

our impact

In 2025, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America shared the findings of a study that proves that – over time – mentored youth have greater enrollment in higher education, increased salaries, reduced dependency on social services, and improved behavioral outcomes.

This groundbreaking study demonstrates the transformative power of mentorship in shaping young people’s educational, economic, and social trajectories, and explains how mentorship programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters can serve as scalable solutions to reduce socioeconomic disparities.
