Agency Details
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwestern CT
Every child deserves a chance to see their potential realized. By matching adult mentors, one-to-one, with children in our communities, Big Brothers Big Sisters defends that potential and helps change lives and futures today and forever.
No program fees are charged for the agency's services- we depend on the support of the United Way, private foundations, and personal and corporate donations from the communities we serve.
For a few hours, a couple times a month, you can give a Little the invaluable gift of your friendship. By simply changing their perspective of what the world can offer, you can ignite their potential and start changing their lives. And sometimes itﾒs as simple as playing video games, going to a museum, or just hanging out together.
