Our mission is to create one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the potential of local youth.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is a donor and volunteer supported organization proven to help vulnerable children of single, low-income and/or incarcerated parents succeed. We create professionally supported one-to-one relationships between children facing adversity and trained and supervised volunteer role models. Funding provides for targeted recruiting, screening, training and matching, as well as ongoing support, safety training and supervision for volunteers, children and families. Donations allow us to ensure child safety and sustain successful, long-term relationships with positive outcomes. Every dollar we raise goes directly to serving youth in San Luis Obispo County.
