Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Chicago

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Chicago is an affiliate of the oldest, most respected mentoring organization in the us. We are a mission driven, performance based organization that is professionally managed and provides high quality 1:1 mentoring services to almost 1,700 children in metro Chicago and their families across four counties: cook, dupage and lake counties in Illinois and Indiana. As metro Chicago and northwest Indiana's largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers ("bigs") and children ("littles") from age seven through high school graduation. Private corporate, foundation and individual contributions provide 88% of our revenue base upon which we build programming that meets the needs of each child individually. Our programs are proven to keep kids in school, out of trouble and on the path to post-graduate success.
