The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay, Inc. is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported 1-to-1 relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. Volunteer mentors spend a few hours a month with a child, enjoying low-cost activities, or once a week at a child's school. Children in the program are more likely to graduate to the next grade level and less likely to be involved in the juvenile justice system.
