Big Brothers Big Sisters
of the Bay Area
Providing a child with a Big Brother or Big Sister – someone they can look up to, explore the world with, put their trust in – can be life-changing. Just by spending one-on-one time with a special friend who offers new experiences and new choices, a child learns more about the world and their own place in it. From the moment they are matched with a mentor a door is opened, and the future is full of possibilities.
With your help, we can open that door for hundreds more kids in the Bay Area. Learn more about us…




Every year at our annual BIG Event, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area presents two matches with our annual Inspiration Award in honor of their special and transformative mentoring relationships.
We are pleased to announce the recipients of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area’s 2010 Inspiration Awards:
Despite a challenging economic year we've maintained services to 1,054 Bay Area kids in need, thanks to our dedicated donors and volunteers. But we still have thousands of kids and volunteers waiting to be matched right now! Your gift can help us meet this demand and get more kids into caring, lasting mentoring relationships that can transform their lives.
