Mission: To provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.

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") in communities across the country. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hampton Roads is seeking adult volunteers to be caring, consistent and compassionate mentors. Mentors provide one-to-one individualized time and attention to a military affiliated child in their community or school. Bigs and Littles are matched based on shared interests and compatible personalities. In just a few hours a month you can be a positive role model, provide valuable support and encouragement, and give your Little the invaluable gift of your friendship. You will receive professional coaching to ensure that both you and your Little have a successful match.
