Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeast Louisiana is a non-profit organization that has been serving the community since 1972. Our mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
What We Do
We match children, ages 6-18, with caring adult mentors who serve as positive role models. Our mentoring programs are designed to help children develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed in life. We offer both community-based and school-based mentoring programs.
Impact
Our programs have a proven track record of success. Children who participate in our mentoring programs are more likely to graduate from high school, attend college, and avoid risky behaviors such as drug and alcohol use. They also report higher levels of self-esteem and confidence.
