Big Brothers Big Sisters

The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Santa Barbara County is to help children from throughout Santa Barbara County reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships. Our vision is successful mentoring relationships for all children who need and want them, contributing to brighter futures, better schools and stronger communties for all.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is a nationally recognized mentor program which pairs adult volunteers with kids from our community to develop fun and meaningful friendships. Big Brothers and Big Sisters volunteers are matched with youth who enjoy similar interests and the two meet weekly to enjoy simple and fun activities such as shooting hoops, washing the car, or baking cookies together. The program is free of charge and provides training, group activities and ongoing support.
