Big Brothers Big Sisters Southern Lake Michigan Region is an organization dedicated to creating and supporting one-to-one mentoring relationships that empower and inspire youth. Our mission is to ignite the power and promise of young individuals, helping them achieve their full potential. With a vision of ensuring that all youth can thrive, we strive to provide every child in our program with higher aspirations, increased confidence, and a brighter future.

We offer a range of programs to facilitate positive mentorship experiences. Our Site-Based Mentoring program involves mentoring matches taking place at schools or community centers, providing a safe and structured environment for meaningful connections. The Community-Based Mentoring program allows for mentors and mentees to engage in various activities and outings in the community, fostering personal growth and development.

Additionally, we have the Bigs with Badges (BWB) program, which pairs youth with mentors who work in law enforcement or emergency services, promoting positive relationships between community members and those who serve and protect. By partnering with parents, guardians, volunteers, and the community, we hold ourselves accountable for each child's success in our program. Join us in making a difference and helping young individuals reach their full potential
