As the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”), ages 6 through 18, in communities across the country.

Community Youth Services/CYS
For more than 40 years, Community Youth Services has helped children, teens and young adults survive some of society’s harshest realities: homelessness, abuse, poverty, crime. Through a continuum of interrelated programs, we enable young people to reach the ultimate goals of safety, stability, self-sufficiency, and belonging. Nearly three thousand youth – and their families – are served by Community Youth Services annually. CYS is also a provider for Independent Living Skills (federally funded) - ask for Liz Snyder to find out about eligibility requirements.
