Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) is thrilled to invite you to join our Invest in the Future campaign to raise $30,000 to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships to ignite the power and promise of youth in Central and Eastern Virginia!

Today, youth face unprecedented challenges. Widening disparities, an escalating mental health crisis, and limited access to supportive networks are holding young people back from achieving their full potential.

1 in 3 young people grow up without a positive role model, leaving them vulnerable to isolation and adversity.
A generation’s potential is at stake. Without intervention, these challenges can lead to lost opportunities, unrealized dreams, and inequitable futures.

Mentorship is a proven solution. Evidence shows that young people with mentors are more likely to graduate high school, enroll in college, and develop the resilience needed to overcome life’s challenges. We cannot afford to lose the potential of this generation.

As a trusted champion for youth, harnessing the transformative power of mentorship to change lives and communities, we invite you to join us in a bold mission to transform the future: providing mentorship to more young people across Central and Eastern Virginia.

Will you join us in empowering their potential? We’re calling on our community to help us match caring, compassionate adults with kids full of unlimited potential. Become a Defender of Potential by donating to our Invest in the Future campaign. Every contribution makes a difference!

Ways to Support this Campaign

👉 Become a monthly donor | We are looking to add 30 new monthly donors known as BBBS Match Makers in the next 30 days. By making a monthly contribution you will be help find, match, and grow new mentorships every month. Are you ready to be a Match Maker?

👉 Make an additional gift | As a recent donor to our annual fund, a participant in our Bowl for Kids' Sake campaign, or a Big Night Out event, your support has already made an impact in the lives of the children and families we serve while shaping our community for generations to come. But we still need your help to lower the number of youth on our waitlist and continue to provide quality match support. Will you consider making an additional donation to help us reach our $30,000 campaign goal?

As a steadfast supporter and advocate, we know you recognize the unlimited potential in every kid.
