Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mid-Maine

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mid-Maine (BBBSMM) changes the lives of over 500 youth facing adversity by providing meaningful positive mentoring relationships that ignite their greatest potential. BBSMM's nationally accredited mentoring program pairs children, ages 5-14 (Littles) with caring, responsible models (Bigs) in one-to one mentoring relationships. BBBSM partners with parents/guardians, volunteers, and others in the community and hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program achieving: higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships; as well as avoidance of risky behaviors and educational success. The majority of youth served by the organization are from low to moderate income families. BBBSMM partners with over 30 area schools and nearly 700 volunteers throughout Eastern, Central, and Coastal Maine to support children in the program.
