Big Brothers Big Sisters YMCA

Together, we are changing what it means to grow up in our community.

MISSION & VISION:

Our mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.



Big Brothers Big Sisters is a branch of the YMCA of Rock River Valley that provides successful mentoring programs for all children who need and want them.  These programs contribute to strengthening kids, families and the entire community.

Our Impact on Youth

• Are more confident
• Are less likely to do drugs and drink alcohol
• Do better in school
• Get along better with their family and friends
• Feel better about themselves

Our Impact on Volunteers
Expand your horizons and make a positive social impact on your community.  Volunteering as a Big Brother or a Big Sister is the most rewarding thing you'll ever do.
