About this organization
Mission
The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
About
In our community-based mentoring program, volunteers pick up the child from their home or school and take them into the community 2-4 times each month. In our school-based mentoring program, volunteers go to their 'little's' school weekly and spend time with them during their lunch and recess period. This is usually a commitment for 45 minutes to an hour each week. Both programs require at least a 12 month commitment from both the volunteer and the child. Children participate in one-to-one mentoring relationships through Big Brothers Big Sisters programs. Other achievements included forming an advisory council in Gibson County, Indiana, and starting up mentoring programs to serve certain aged students in the North Gibson School Corporation. The council was the fourth of its kind formed to help educate these communities about our mentoring programs and to help raise funds to support our programs in Gibson County. No grants were paid to others as part of mentoring programs.
