Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County & The Inland Empire   

Big Brothers Big Sisters is the nation’s largest and oldest mentoring organization. Since 1904, we have operated under the belief that inherent in every child is incredible potential. Our mentoring model was created on the premise of youth equity and empowerment, designed to meet kids where they are at and empower them with the social capital and skills to transform their lives and their communities. We create and professionally-support mentoring connections between volunteers (Bigs) and youth (Littles), ages 6 through young adulthood (24), that provide a direct, measurable, and lasting impact on their lives. The youth we serve face increased risks, from academic struggles to mental health concerns, but with the right support, they don’t just overcome barriers—they thrive. Established in 1958, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County and the Inland Empire has helped tens of thousands of youth facing adversity realize their potential and build a brighter future. Through mentorship, we are aiming to reduce the number of disconnected youth in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties and build a future-proof workforce with the potential to change the world.
