EMPOWERING THE POTENTIAL IN YOUTH
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Nebraska (BBBS) is a force for change. Inherent in every young person is immense potential. Together, with Bigs, Littles, the families of young people, and our community, we defend that potential.
Healthy relationships support resiliency, inspire, and empower. Since 1967, and as one of over 200 Big Brothers Big Sisters affiliates, we create matches that build powerful relationships.
Youth in our community are waiting for Bigs to show up, join their community, expand their network, share in new experiences, and develop strong, committed one-to-one mentoring relationships. Bigs with a variety of life experiences, interests, and strengths are imperative to make quality matches.
The benefits for Bigs endure in the same way they do for Littles. Big Brothers Big Sisters creates an environment of growth and adventure for both the Little AND the Big.
