Children from all walks of life could benefit from the caring, supportive and consistent presence of a mentor. Child mentoring all starts with the right role models. Since 1977, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island has matched thousands of children from Nassau and Suffolk counties with a Big Brother or Big Sister, and many of those relationships have lasted a lifetime. Enroll a child today to put them on a path to an empowered future.
“Looking back, I feel you are what I needed, a constant, reliable Big Brother that expected nothing in return from me. You really are a role model to me, and I have become a better person for having you involved in my life.”
~ From a Little Brother to his Big Brother
BBBSLI matches children between the ages of 7-16. We take the time to interview you and your child and find a volunteer mentor who will best suit their needs and provide the most successful relationship. 20% of all our current matches have been together for five or more years, and the power of mentoring can be seen in the longevity and quality of the matches we make!
We know you see the endless potential in your child, and we believe that quality mentoring and match support can provide the Littles in our child mentoring program the opportunity to succeed and shine!
