Big Brothers and Big Sisters – this Baltimore-based nonprofit provides one-on-one mentoring relationships to help at-risk children reach their full potential. Their mission is to bring a caring adult into the life of every child in need, helping children achieve success in school and in life, while strengthening their communities. Each adult mentor gets together with his or her Little Brother/Little Sister once a month to spend time together, enjoying a meal, playing a game, seeing a movie, attending a concert – in short, having fun together. The children benefit from the attention, friendship and positive influence of a caring adult taking interest in their growth, development, and well-being.
