Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Arizona

Thank you to everyone who helped us Paint the Town Green and spread the word about the power of mentoring! From posting your green photos and sharing our campaign to finding (and sharing!) green ducks around town, every post, share, and duck helped bring attention to Big Brothers Big Sisters and the difference a mentor can make.

And the impact reached far beyond social media! During PTTG, our social media views increased by more than 200%, with Instagram reach up 407% and content interactions up 559%. Website traffic also increased by 88%, while clicks to start a volunteer information session grew by 53%, helping more people take the first step toward becoming a Big!

A BIG thank-you to the community partners who helped make PTTG a success:

💚 Ridgepoint Apartments
💚 Sunnyside Teenage Parent Program
💚 Tucson High School
💚 El Saguaro Barbershop

Thank you for showing up, sharing the message, and helping us ignite potential across Southern Arizona!

At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Arizona, we believe in the power of showing up for one another. This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the rich cultures, voices, and traditions that help shape the lives of the youth and families we serve. When we embrace who we are, we create a world where every child can thrive. Let’s continue building a community where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. https://soazbigs.org/become-a-big/

What makes someone a great Big? It’s not about having all the answers or being an expert. It’s about being someone who cares, makes time, listens, and shows up.

This Big Brothers Big Sisters Month, we’re celebrating the mentors who remind us that sometimes, the simplest moments can make the biggest difference. There are local youth waiting for someone to share those moments with. Maybe that someone is you.

A BIG thank you to United Way of Graham & Greenlee Counties for their generous support of our High School Leaders Mentoring Program!

This funding directly supports our rural mentoring program, helping bring one-to-one mentoring to youth in Graham and Greenlee Counties. Through these friendships, Bigs provide guidance, encouragement, and support as Littles navigate their school years, work toward personal goals, and discover their potential.

We’re so grateful for your investment in local youth and in the communities we serve!
