Welcome to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arkansas

Our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of children and youth, primarily through a professionally supported, one-to-one relationship with a caring adult and to assist them in achieving their highest potential as they grow to become responsible men and women by providing committed volunteers, local leadership, and standards of excellence.

BBBSCA became an affiliate of the country's premier mentoring organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, in 1968.

The results from an impact study conducted by Public/Private Ventures, a national research organization are astounding! This study provided concrete evidence that youth matched with Big Brothers and Big Sisters are:

* 52 % less likely to skip school
* 37 % less likely to skip a class
* More confident in their abilities to succeed at school
* 27 % less likely to begin using alcohol
* One-third less likely to hit someone
* Get along better with their parents and peers

Currently there are close to 100 children that are still waiting for a Big Brother or Sister in Pulaski, Jefferson, and Saline County.

The greatest need is for volunteers, especially men and married couples, who can serve as mentors and friends to the many youth waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister.

Volunteer opportunities also exist within Big League, an auxiliary organization that supports and promotes Big Brothers Big Sisters by planning activities for Bigs and Littles and raising money for the agency.

A unique part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters experience is the support each volunteer receives from professional and trained staff. Our staff is available to assist each volunteer by answering questions, offering suggestions, and providing that extra moral support when needed.
