I've joined the team at Big Brothers Big Sisters this year because I wanted to give back to our community. As a former teacher, I recognize the numerous challenges our youth face, but I firmly believe in BBBSCI's core message: that our organization's job is to act as defenders of potential, and that all children possess and deserve to tap into that potential!

Thank you in advance for your kind donation. I can attest that our staff will utilize your gift to empower Indianapolis's youth.

At BBBSCI, our Bigs are nothing short of heroes. They show up for the young people in our community day in and day out, making the future brighter with every connection they build. The youth of Central Indiana are asking for mentors, and our Bigs share their light!

But 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.

Right now, we have 1,000 youth 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. Our Bigs are stepping up—but we need even more people like them to meet this urgent need!

To our Ambassador Bigs: Thank you for your leadership, your impact, and for believing in the limitless potential of Central Indiana’s youth. You are shaping lives, creating brighter futures, and proving that mentorship truly makes a difference.

Together, we’re changing the game for young people—and we couldn’t do it without you
