For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”), ages 5–18, in communities across the country. Positive relationships are developed that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people. The local chapter was founded in 1973 by a dedicated group of Gallatin County residents. In its first year, BBBS-GC served a handful of children. In the most recent fiscal year, the agency served hundreds of children within the service area. They are incredibly proud of this phenomenal growth, but still have much more work to do. In order to keep pace with the rapid growth of our community and the increase in the needs of children and families, BBBS-GC must meet this ambitious goal to reach more families. This requires engaging record numbers of volunteer Bigs and raising funds to support these matches. Learn what you can do to help by visiting www.bbbs-gc.org/. •
