Big Brother Big Sisters of the Triangle is a community organization in which you or your student could be involved. This initiative pairs caring adults (Bigs) with young people (Littles) for one-on-one outings and activities that foster growth and connection.

Here’s how it works:

• Engaging Activities: Bigs and Littles enjoy activities such as walking in the park, visiting museums, listening to music, and simply hanging out and talking.

• Flexible Scheduling: Whether it’s weekends or evenings, each match creates a schedule that works best for them.

• Personal Growth: These interactions help Littles improve academically, build stronger relationships, and avoid negative behaviors.

Research shows that children with positive role models are more likely to succeed in school and in life. In fact, a nationwide study confirmed that participants in Big Brothers Big Sisters programs experience significant benefits.
