WHAT WE DO
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County & the Inland Empire provides a lifeline to youth, especially for the most vulnerable, who lack positive role models.
MENTORING MATTERS
Igniting the Power and Potential of the Next Generation: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County & the Inland Empire is the leader in mentorship, creating and supporting mentoring relationships through a variety of professionally-supported programs.
There is a mentoring gap in America. One-third of our nation’s youth are growing up without a positive role model.
More than half the youth we serve live below the poverty line, putting them at greater risk for poor academic achievement and other developmental delays.
The low-income youth we support in our program are 10 times more likely to drop out of high school than their high-income peers.
