Celebrating Big Brothers Big Sisters

Creating smiles that last a lifetime

Big Brothers Big Sisters became a Community Partner in 1976 to create and support mentoring relationships that ignite the potential of youth in the Lubbock area. The organization’s programs include a community-based and a school-based program to help children ages 6 to 15 years old reach their full potential. Locally, 84% of children enrolled in the program improved or maintained educational expectations.

A Big and Little can build a friendship that lasts a lifetime. When a child has a mentor, they are more likely to have higher aspirations, do better in school, and gain confidence.

A history of mentorships

Big Brothers Big Sisters has been the leader in one-to-one mentorship nationwide for more than 100 years. The organization’s local agency has been serving the Lubbock community since 1970, where it was originally known as Big Brothers.
