As the founder of the nationwide girls mentoring movement in 1902, today, we’re celebrating all the incredible girls and women in our program! To all of our Littles: your strength, curiosity, kindness, and resilience inspire us every day. And to our Bigs: thank you for showing up, listening, and helping create a community where every girl knows she belongs. Here’s to the power of sisterhood, meaningful mentorship, and the bright futures these girls are building together ✨

This , we're celebrating the families who inspire everything we do. 💛 At Bigs & Littles NYC, we believe a child can only be as healthy as their family — so we support the whole family, not just the child. That means mentors for our youth AND for our parents.

We are proud to share 100% of our Littles graduate high school and 92% go on to college or a training program. 98% of parents report increased self-efficacy. Because when a whole family is supported — and mentors show up, every single time — anything is possible.
