My Big Sister and I appreciate the same things. I guess that's why we're a great match! 

Bill brought me to work a few times and I got to meet his friends. Made me feel like he's proud of me. 

Jennifer and I always try to learn together about something that's new to both of us during our outings. 

I let my Big Brother beat me at hoops sometimes. His foul shot needs work. 

 

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwestern Connecticut is a non-profit agency that provides adult mentors to children. We recruit, carefully screen and train caring adults to act as mentors, match them with children, and support them.

We operate on the premise that a one-to-one relationship with an adult provides the support a child needs to grow and mature into a responsible adult.

And it works! Ongoing research consistently demonstrates that kids matched with a Big Brother or Sister improve their performance in school and develop better relationships with family, peers and authority figures.
