Help us build the next 40 years of mentoring in Southeast Ohio.

In 1986, our organization began as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Athens County with a simple idea: young people benefit from having caring adults in their lives.

Forty years later, that belief continues to guide our work.

Today, Southeast Ohio Youth Mentoring brings young people and mentors together through one-to-one mentoring, school-based programs, and activities that help youth build confidence, develop new skills, and form meaningful relationships.

Sometimes mentoring looks like trying something new together. Sometimes it's having someone to talk to, getting encouragement after a difficult day, or simply knowing someone will be there next week.

Those moments matter.

This November, we're launching our very first Giving Tuesday campaign.

Throughout the month, we'll be sharing stories that celebrate the people, relationships, and moments that have shaped our first 40 years.

We're inviting our community to help make the next chapter possible.

Your donation supports our ongoing work connecting local youth with caring mentors and creating opportunities for young people to grow.

Whether you give $10, $25, $40, or an amount that's meaningful to you, you're helping us continue showing up for Southeast Ohio youth.

Forty years of mentoring. Countless moments of connection. And we're not done yet.

Thank you for being part of the next 40 years.

40 Years. One Match at a Time.
