Who We Are

Mission: To create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the potential of young people.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern OH and Western PA is a nonprofit organization that focuses on empowering and supporting youth through one-to-one mentoring relationships. The organization operates across Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, serving diverse communities and partnering with local schools, businesses, and volunteers to create lasting impacts on the lives of children. Through their programs, they aim to nurture the potential of every child and give them the tools they need to overcome challenges and succeed in life.

What We Do

The organization serves children who face adversity by matching them with adult mentors who can provide guidance, encouragement, and a positive role model. These relationships are designed to help young people build self-confidence, improve academic performance, and develop stronger social skills, ultimately guiding them toward a brighter future.

The mentoring relationships are professionally supported to ensure safety, consistency, and the success of both the mentors and mentees. They offer a range of mentoring programs, including community-based and school-based initiatives, tailored to meet the specific needs of the youth they serve.
