Being a Big is more than just mentoring. It’s about being a cheerleader, a listener, a teacher, and most importantly, a friend. It’s about standing beside our Littles and cheering them on through every milestone, challenge, and success.
At BBBSCI, we show up for the young people in our community day in and day out, making the future brighter with every connection we build. The youth of Central Indiana are asking for mentors - Right now, we have 1,000 youth (YES ONE THOUSAND) eagerly waiting for mentors like our Bigs. That’s 1,000 lives ready to be changed, 1,000 opportunities to build connections that last a lifetime. These young people are full of potential, and they’re looking for someone who will believe in them, support them, and help guide them toward a brighter future.
I've been a Big since November 2023 and my little is the best - she and her mom taught me how to roller skate the second time we hung out! We've gone paddle-boating, to the movies, to get our nails done, to IndyReads where we played Jenga and picked out books, and so many more things I'm not remembering right now. And I can't wait to see what this next year will bring - how we'll both grow.
So.
We need even more Bigs so we can ensure every single one of those 1,000 youth gets matched. We need YOU. But, hey, there's more than one way to help! Can't become a Big right now but still want to support BBBSCI? Help us reach our fundraising goal!
And I'll tell you what, I will match your donation dollar for dollar up to $150!
Together, we’re changing the game for young people—and we couldn’t do it without you.
Thank you!
