Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Wisconsin is a trusted brand that has been providing mentoring services to their local community for over 40 years. As one of over 500 affiliates, they are part of the oldest and most respected youth mentoring program in the world, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Their nonprofit agency focuses on professionally matching children from single-parent households with volunteer mentors.

By meeting youths' basic developmental needs early on, they aim to have a positive impact on their lives and futures. Statistics show that children matched with a mentor for a year experience increased self-esteem, stronger communication skills, a more positive attitude towards school, and a decrease in truancy, drugs, and alcohol. Big Brothers Big Sisters matches Bigs and Littles based on compatible personalities, hobbies, and interests.

Through simple, everyday activities like playing catch, working on crafts, cooking, or visiting the library, mentors create lasting bonds with their mentees. Additionally, Big Brothers Big Sisters actively partners with area school districts for their Lunch Buddies Mentoring Programs. Volunteers spend one lunch hour a week with their elementary or middle school buddy, sharing conversation, games, recess, and lunch.

The organization proudly serves Dodge, Jefferson, Rock, and Walworth counties in South Central Wisconsin. Their vision is for every child within their service area to achieve success in life, and their mission is to provide one-to-one mentoring to help youth reach their full potential.
