SPOTLIGHT
Story and Mission
For more than 25 years locally , and since 1904 nationally , Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is incredible potential .
At Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Alabama , we ignite that potential by making meaningful , monitored matches between adult volunteers ( Bigs ) and children ( Littles ), ages 5 through young adulthood . These positive relationships have a direct and lasting effect on their lives . When children believe in themselves and what they can accomplish , they enjoy better relationships with their friends , families , and peers , and they help create safer , stronger communities . Mentorship creates lifelong impact for our volunteers , the children we serve , and for our community at-large .
Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is one of the most enjoyable things you ’ ll ever do . Not to mention , one of the most fulfilling . You have the opportunity to help shape a child ’ s future for the better by empowering them to fulfill their potential . And the best part is , it ’ s a lot of fun . You and your Little can share the kinds of activities you already like to do . You can play sports , go on a hike , read books , eat pizza , or just give some advice and inspiration . Whatever it is you enjoy , odds are you ’ ll enjoy it even more with your Little , and you ’ ll be making a life-changing impact while doing it .
Whether you get involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters as a volunteer Big Brother or Sister , donor , partner , advocate , or family member , you have the power to change a child ’ s future for the better , forever .
