The vision of Big Brothers Big Sisters is to provide successful mentoring relationships for all children who need and want them, contributing to brighter futures, better schools, and stronger communities for all.
Who We Are
Big Brothers Big Sisters is a nation-wide federation that has been the leader in
one-to-one mentoring since 1904. There are currently over 450 agencies nationwide working together to invest in our future-the children we serve. Our local agency has been serving the Lubbock community since 1970.
Big Brothers Big Sisters Lubbock-Plainview is a Lubbock Area United Way Partner Agency.- http://liveunitedlubbock.org/
Who Are Littles
Littles are the children that participate in Big Brothers Big Sisters. The children in our program range in age from 5 years to 17 years of age. These are children from all different types of backgrounds, families and experiences but all have one thing in common - they want or need an additional positive role model in their life.
The Difference One Person Can Make
A national study has shown that children who are matched through Big Brothers Big Sisters, compared to their peers, for at least a year are:
• 46% less likely to start using drugs
• 27% less likely to start drinking
• 52% less likely to skip a day of school and earn higher grades
• 33% less likely to hit someone
