Big Brothers Big Sisters of Connecticut is the leading volunteer mentoring network in the state, dedicated to changing perspectives and changing lives. With over 100 years of experience, they firmly believe that every child has the ability to succeed and reach their fullest potential. Their mission is to provide children in need, aged 6 to 18, with outstanding mentors who help them achieve their highest potential.

Through their community-based and site-based mentoring programs, they create meaningful and professionally supported matches between adult volunteers (Bigs) and children (Littles) in all 169 cities and towns of Connecticut. Research has proven the positive impact of these mentor relationships, with Littles gaining greater confidence, having higher aspirations, and building better relationships. They are also less likely to engage in risky behaviors such as drug and alcohol use, and more likely to succeed academically.

By partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers, and the community, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Connecticut is committed to ensuring the success of each child in their program. Join them in starting something big and making a lasting difference in the lives of Connecticut's youth
