At Big Brothers Big Sisters we take “Littles” (children in our community that need a positive role model) and Match them with “Bigs” (adult volunteers in our community that want to change the life of a child for forever) and put them in a professionally monitored intentional relationship. We work with the parents and guardians of these children to set goals and markers and then measure success in every Match.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is a National organization with over 400 offices worldwide. The office that services Jasper/Newton Counties is located in Joplin, Missouri in the United Way building located at 3510 East 3rd Street.
Our mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
