Big Brothers Big Sisters - Milpitas (The Bay Area)

Our goal is to build and maintain one-on-one mentoring relationships that inspire youth to achieve their greatest potential. At Big Brothers Big Sisters, we recognize that "small moments can create big happiness" in a child's life! Research shows the profound and lasting impact of mentoring: our Littles are 52% less likely to skip school, 46% less likely to experiment with illegal drugs, and more likely to establish strong connections with family and peers. Becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister is one of the most fulfilling experiences you'll ever have. Spending just a few hours mentoring a child a few times a month can have a BIG impact on their life. How It Works: Depending on the program, you may meet your Little in the community, online via ZOOM, or through one of our site-based programs. Littles come from diverse backgrounds, from very young children (as young as six) to teenagers. They may live close by or further away, but they all share a common need: your support!
