“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” — Oprah Winfrey

Congratulations to the 2023 graduates! We are bursting with pride at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Arizona. Your hard work and dedication have paid off, and we can't wait to see what amazing things you will accomplish in the years to come. You are the future leaders of our community, and we know you will make us proud. Keep pursuing your dreams and never forget the hard work that brought you to this moment. Congratulations again from all of us at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Arizona!

Mentor 2.0 needs YOU to STAND WITH US and invest in meaningful interactions with students to help them ignite and harness their own potential- the potential they had all along.

We are actively enrolling for the 2023-2024 school year and still need 60+ volunteers for the program!

Will you take the stand and unlock a future graduates potential?

Mentor 2.0 is about building a bridge for students between high school and their post-secondary lives and then matching them with supportive Mentors to help them cross that bridge.

Through site-based mentoring, our Bigs empower, ignite and defend the potential of their Littles. As a result, our youth go on to do big things later on in life.
