Big Brothers Big Sisters' mission is to help children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships with measurable impact.

In Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward 's 35 years of existence, we have served more than 14,000 children and currently serve more than 1,400. 

Our matches are carefully administered and supported by rigorous national standards and trained personnel. Our agency professionals strive for matches that are not only safe and well-suited to each child, but also harmonious and built to last.

Our Core Programs

Community-Based Mentoring: Our traditional model of community-based mentoring allows Bigs and Littles get together on their own to share fun activities that they both enjoy.

School-Based Mentoring: This model allows Bigs and Littles to meet one-to-one in the classroom, school library, school computer room or another location.  Bigs and Littles typically read together, play sports of computer games or talk about their lives.

Our Special Initiatives

We recognize that children in some traditionally underserved communities may benefit from focused encouragement to help them reach their full potential.  Therefore, we also have special programs developed to target these groups through our community-based mentoring programming:

Inspire Within: Mentoring of children transitioning out of foster care

Mentoring Children of Promise: Mentoring of children whose parents are incarcerated

Special Friends for Special Needs Children: Mentoring of children with special needs

Little Buddies: Social interaction and recreational activities for ready-to-be-matched children
