At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeast Michigan (BBBSSEM), we believe that every child has inherent and limitless potential, and with the right support and encouragement, they can achieve amazing things.
BBBS is the nation’s largest mentoring organization, matching caring adult mentors (Bigs) with children and teens (Littles) to create life-changing relationships. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to ignite potential and build brighter futures through the power of mentorship. But here’s the best part- mentorship is a two-way street. Every small, shared moment—laughing over a silly joke, conquering a new challenge, or simply being there for each other—adds up to something extraordinary. These “Little Moments” create a ripple effect, bringing Big Joy to both mentor and mentee.
|
WHY CHOOSE BBBS? |
120 years of experience.
Backed by data, driven by impact. |
THE TRUTH IS...In a world where 1 in 3 people feel lonely, mentorship offers a powerful antidote. For mentees, it builds confidence, belonging, and hope. For mentors, it sparks purpose, joy, and deeper connection.
Mentorship isn’t just support—it’s a two-way relationship that transforms lives on both sides. In a time when we’re all seeking more meaning, mentoring creates the connection we need to thrive together. |
Donations empower youth by providing them with opportunities, resources, and experiences that they may not otherwise have access to.
|
Mentorship doesn’t just change a child’s life—it transforms yours too. Try new things, learn new things, & find your BIG JOY. |
This isn’t just about academic success or social skills; it’s about helping your child dream big, build resilience, and feel supported every step of the way.
