All-in, together. That’s how we change communities, one match at a time.

The Big Draft is building a roster of 500 Bigs in 100 days. Are you in?

Becoming a Big is one of the most rewarding decisions you can make. By showing up consistently and listening, you can help a young person gain the confidence and support they need to thrive.

BE A BIG

Bigs (volunteer adult mentors) and Littles (youth mentees) get together a few times for a few hours each month doing everyday activities that create a friendship bond.

Each match is supported by a dedicated Match Support Specialist who is always there to provide resources and support specific to the match's needs.

SHOW UP YOUR WAY

We offer ways you can get involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters based on your flexibility and lifestyle!
No matter what you choose, you're helping create opportunities for the next generation of youths across Northeast Indiana.

COMMUNITY-BASED

Community-based mentoring relationships involve one-on-one outings and activities, doing things the Bigs & Littles enjoy together out in the community.

Some meet on the weekends, others get together on weekday evenings. Each match is unique and develops a schedule that works with them.

SCHOOL BUDDIES

Bigs meet at the Littles' school and hang out during the child's lunch time, whether it's in the classroom or on the playground.

You're making a positive impact by being there for them and teachers, school councilors, and parents can see the impact.
