Together, we are changing what it means to grow up in America.
Bigs and Littles have fun together - and create memories that last a lifetime. We call it "Little moments ... Big magic." Research on our volunteer programs points to the powerful, positive, lasting impact Bigs have on children's lives. Littles are:
- 52% less likely to skip school
- 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
- More likely to get along with their families and peers
Proven positive impact on children and communities.
