Big Brothers Big Sisters of America is a non-profit organization that operates in the United States and Canada, whose mission is to help young boys and girls, achieve their potential through professionally supported, one to one interaction with a mentor that create a major in the child’s life. This makes it one of the reducers for those who may fall to the hands of drugs or alcohol abuse. They help those who are economically and educationally disadvantaged. Some mentors develop a bond with their little brothers or sisters that can not be broken.

Boys and girls are also introduced to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program at the local agency level, where an adult and a young person are assigned as a team. No dues or fees are charged either to the adults or children. Most youths who take part in the program are between the ages of ten and fourteen. Most of the majority are boys; about half are minorities. Most of the children come from low-income households and single-parent families, many of which have a history of substance abuse or domestic violence.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters of America was established with the purpose of guiding kids that come from different backgrounds to share with a dedicated mentor who has made a commitment to be a positive motivation. As many or most of the “Bigs” as they are called are matched to a child with particular needs and status. It is the goal of the Big to increase positive social and educational attitudes in the young people they help. They interact in activities such as going to a baseball game, school work, and/or any other activity to help the bond grow. They sole purpose of a mentor is to be there for their little brother or sister for emotional support, or guidance. Most results showed improvement to the kids they mentor.

In some large metropolitan centers there may be several separate Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies that help match children and adults. Smaller communities have only one such agency. Although there is no structured educational program, all men and women who volunteer as Big Brothers or Big Sisters are concerned with helping boys and girls learn the best ways of relating to society, they dedicate their time to the child to have a future.

Many Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies have a High School Bigs program in which mature teenagers can serve as mentors and role models for at risk elementary and middle school children. In some communities, agencies work with local police departments to provide early intervention for first-time juvenile offenders by matching them with a Big Sister or Big Brother.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters program is a major player in the life of a child that has been through a lot of havoc and misfortune due to domestic violence, drug abuse, or parental separation. Its helps bring hope back into the child’s life who was never meant to be a victim of this cruel world.
