From Pensacola to Miami, youth across our state are waiting for mentors who can change their lives. This Giving Tuesday, your gift ensures Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies have the resources to make those matches happen.
GIVE BIG FLORIDA
MENTORSHIP STARTS WITH YOU
What we raise this season will determine how many young people we can serve across Florida, and you can help make sure every child has someone in their corner.
Across the state, hundreds of young people are waiting for a mentor who believes in them. When you give to Big Brothers Big Sisters Association of Florida this Giving Tuesday, you create life-changing matches between caring adults and youth who need support, connection, and encouragement.
When a Little has a Big in their corner, their whole world changes. These are some of the ways mentoring makes a lasting impact:
- Builds confidence so Littles can dream bigger and believe in themselves
- Provides stability and encouragement during challenging times
- Opens doors to opportunities a young person may have never imagined
- Helps kids succeed in school and discover new interests
If I had never had a Big, I think I would be very different in so many ways. Before I met Leilannie, I was really sad and lonely because I didn’t have anyone to hang out with or talk to. I think I would’ve continued struggling with my mental health, and I definitely wouldn’t be doing as well in school as I am now. It’s been so helpful having someone like Leilannie to text or reach out to when I need support.
