Big Brothers Big Sisters makes a positive difference in the lives of youth through professionally supported, one to one relationships with caring adult volunteers, and to assist them in achieving their highest potential as they grow to become confident, competent, and caring individuals, by providing committed volunteers, local leadership, and standards of excellence. Program evaluations consistently show that after entering the program, children are less likely to become delinquent, use alcohol, tobacco or drugs, or drop out of school. Thus, investing in Big Brothers Big Sisters is more cost effective than investing in single issue prevention programs.
