Role models make an impact

Studies show that children who have role models are more likely to improve in school and in their relationships with family and friends, and less likely to skip school or use illegal drugs or alcohol. Students who are successful in school are less likely to drop out, abuse drugs, or commit crimes. 

COMMUNITY BASED MENTORING

About twice a month, community-based matches may spend time in the park, or by playing or other fun activities. 

SCHOOL BASED MENTORING

Once a week, school-based matches can meet in the lunchroom, on the playground or utilize other resources on the school's campus to spend time together. 

SPORTS BUDDIES MENTORING

About once a month, Sports Buddies will meet at an agency-facilitated activity focused on watching sports or playing sports together. 

CLUB BASED

Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Boys & Girls Clubs have partnered to provide one-to-one mentoring to youth on-site at one of the Clubs.

It’s not just a donation. It’s an investment in a child’s future.

When you donate online to Big Brothers Big Sisters, you join our cause and directly support children in your community. No matter how little or big the amount, donating can start making a difference in the lives of young people around you.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Acadiana – Youth Mentoring

For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”), ages 6 through 18, in communities across the country. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.
