Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound

 Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound is the largest mentoring organization in Washington State, serving over 2,600 children annually in King, Pierce, Kitsap, Jefferson and Clallam counties.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound is a true change agent, committed to providing an adult mentor for every child who needs or wants one. Mentoring is a proven strategy that changes how our children grow up in America by meeting critical needs of our region's children and engaging all levels of community. We help children build the attitudes and behaviors needed to stay in school, succeed academically, make healthy choices, and create promising futures.

For more than fifty years, we have been the "gold standard" in child safety when it comes to matching children with adult volunteers. We support our matches for their duration by providing orientation and ongoing trainings, professional match support, and monthly activities. We advocate for mentoring to local, state and federal governments. We make quality matches that stand the test of time, lasting an average of almost three years.

By matching children with adult mentors in one-to-one relationships, we transform the life of a child (a Little), transform the life of an adult (a Big) and together transform our schools, our neighborhoods and our communities for the better.
