BIG IMPACT - PROVEN RESULTS

We believe every child is born with incredible potential, and we are committed to continuously evaluating and improving our programs to ensure our Bigs are equipped to defend that potential.

For more than 70 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Heart of Georgia has seen the remarkable impact of one-to-one mentoring on the lives of children. We work diligently to foster a long-standing relationship with our mentors and children by providing ongoing support to the Big, the Little, and the Little’s family. Through this nurturing relationship, we have witnessed how lives are transformed for the better

MEASURING OUR IMPACT

Positive Impact on Young People

Research shows that our programs have a positive impact on young people.

Impact on Self-Confidence

One-on-one attention from a caring adult role model is a key part of developing self-confidence, and research shows that Bigs help Littles feel more confident in several areas.

Impact on Education

Evidence shows that being matched through Big Brothers Big Sisters can make a big difference in how a child performs in school and how he or she feels about school in general.

Impact on Juvenile Justice

Many children get swept up into what their peers are doing, but research shows that having another caring adult on their side helps Littles make good decisions and avoid risky behaviors.
