Big brothers big sisters of america - Children's Miracle Network

Big Brothers Big Sisters is the largest and most successful youth mentoring organization in the United States.

Our mission is to help children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring

relationships. National research shows that children involved with our programs are less likely to have

negative contact with law enforcement or to use drugs or alcohol, are more likely to attend school regularly,

 form stronger family bonds and are reported to be more confident and positive individuals. We serve more

than 250,000 at-risk youth through two core programs: The Community Based Program and the School Buddies Program.
