Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest, largest and most effective youth mentoring organization in Rockland County and throughout the United States. We have been the leader in one-to-one youth service for more than a century, developing positive relationships that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young people. Our mission is to enrich, empower and encourage children to reach their highest potential through safe, positive one-to-one mentoring relationships. Our vision is to contribute to brighter futures, better schools, and stronger communities for all!
