Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Midlands

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Midlands' vision is for all youth to achieve their full potential. Our mission is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. By partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers, and others in the community, we are accountable for each child in our programs achieving higher aspirations, greater confidence, better relationships, and educational success, as well as avoidance of risky behaviors. Our success is measured with the youth outcome survey (yos) developed exclusively for Big Brothers Big Sisters (bbbs) by expert researchers in the mentoring field.bbbs of the Midlands operates the community-based mentoring program for youth ages 7-21 and the mentoru program for high school students. Big Brothers Big Sisters serves from all socio-economic backgrounds. However, the majority of those enrolled in the programs reside in single-parent homes with household income levels eligible for free or reduced lunches. Youth living in foster care and children with one or both parents incarcerated make up a significant number of those served. the youth, volunteers, and families we partner with represent the diverse omaha metro community.
