What We Achieve

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana matches boys and girls, ages 8 through 14, referred to as “Littles,” with adult volunteer mentors, known as “Bigs,” in professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships, known as a “match.”

1 Mentor (“Big”) + 1 Youth (“Little”) = 1 Mentoring Relationship (“Match”)

Matches are supported until the youth reaches the age of 18 or graduates from high school. We have a variety of programs designed to meet the needs of our volunteers and youth.

Lasting Impact on Youth

Nationally Big Brothers Big Sisters has been the leader in one-to-one youth service for more than a century, developing positive relationships that have a direct and lasting influence on the lives of young people and adult mentors.

National research has shown that positive relationships between youth and their Big Brothers and Big Sisters have a direct and measurable impact on their Littles’ lives.

Our unique one-to-one mentoring model works because of our commitment to partnerships with parents and volunteers, other community organizations and schools.
