The largest and oldest youth mentoring organization in the state, BBBSRI serves children and youth 7 - 18 years of age by pairing them in structured mentoring relationships with caring adult volunteers. Mentoring is one of the most effective means of positively influencing the future of a child. Some local outcomes for Littles mentored by Bigs include improved self-confidence, enhanced ability to express their feelings, better decision-making skills, and improved academic performance. Our Donation Center works in partnership with the thrift store Savers to collect clothing and textiles to generate funding to support our youth mentoring programs.
