Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Washington is dedicated to mentoring children who grow up in challenging environments by connecting them with caring adult mentors. Research underscores the importance of having at least one supportive figure in a child's life, which can lead to better outcomes. The program is designed to be accessible, requiring only a few hours each month for a minimum of one year. This commitment fosters stability, as many of these mentorships last far beyond the initial period. The organization offers continuous support throughout the mentorship, ensuring that both the 'Bigs' and 'Littles' have the resources they need to thrive.
