Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona
Creates Little Moments and Big Magic!

The futures of thousands of children in the Valley shine brighter from the magic created by the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona. The non-profit organization has individually mentored more than 25,000 Valley youths since 1955 and the time and dedication shown by all of the program’s volunteers is unparalleled. Mentors strive to give children the chance to be their best and succeed. Each Big Brother and Big Sister match that is made creates dynamic friendships that have a profound and lasting impact on the lives of local youths.

In fact, through mentoring, children are:

• 27% less likely to start drinking
• 33% less likely than their peers to report hitting someone else
• 37% less likely to skip a class
• 46% less likely than their peers to start using illegal drugs
• 52% less likely to skip a day of school
