Big Brothers/ Big Sisters of Northeastern Pa Serving Lycoming County

The Big Brothers Big Sisters Program is a non-profit organization whose mission is to help children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships. Our "Bigs" are committed to spending 2 to 3 hours per week with their "Littles," giving them new experiences and exposure to the world around them.  Our "Littles" receive lifelong lessons that help guide them in making their lives better.

Studies have shown that "Littles" who have "Bigs" in their life are...

• 46% less likely to start using drugs
• 33% less likely to hit someone
• 52% less likely to skip school         

Your financial support helps us do what we do best:  Empowering youth in our community to achieve their full potential.

Not everyone has the same opportunity in life, but your donation helps us develop college graduates, community leaders, business leaders, and entrepreneurs. 93% of children with "Bigs" feel having a one-to-one relationship is important in helping them achieve their goals.
