Big Brothers Big Sisters ImpactFor more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been recognized as one of the most effective youth development programs in the United States. Independent research shows that a Little Brother or Little Sister (a.k.a. a “Little”) who is matched for one year or more in a one-to-one friendship is more likely to graduate from high school, to attend college, and to show more respect to adults. Littles are also more likely to avoid alcohol, drugs and violence. When compared with their peers, Little Brothers and Sisters are:
* 52% less likely to skip a day of school
* 33% less likely to engage in violence with their peers
* 46% less likely to start using drugs
* 27% less likely to start drinking
* more trusting of parents and other adults, and less likely to lie to them.
-Public Private Ventures (P/PV) Study, 1995
There are a number of great kids waiting to be matched in each of our programs. Visit our website to learn more.
Community Based Mentoring ProgramOur core program matches a volunteer Big Brother or Sister with a child who could benefit from a one-to-one relationship with a caring adult.
Bigs and Littles meet a few times per month, for a couple of hours each time, at places and times convenient to both.
The two share similar interests, and spend their time together engaged in activities such as playing catch, watching movies, touring museums, cheering on the local sports teams or simply hanging out.
It’s easy, fun, and simple. To learn more contact 617-956-0281 or visit: www.bbbsmb.org
School Based Mentoring ProgramVolunteer Big Brothers and Sisters matched in our school-based program meet their Little Brothers or Sisters at school, a few times a month over the course of the academic year.
During lunch or after school, Bigs and Littles play on the playground, swap stories, work on homework, or simply sit and talk, among other activities.
Throughout the summer months, school-based matches are encouraged to keep in touch via letters and e-mails.

* cooking
* playing video games
* hanging out, eating and talking
* going to the movies and throwing popcorn at the screen (okay, maybe not that second part).
