About us
For more than 60 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Massachusetts has worked to ensure that every child has the support from caring adults that they need for healthy development and success in life. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Massachusetts makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers ("Bigs") and children ("Littles"), ages 7 through high school graduation, in communities across Massachusetts Bay. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people. The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay is to partner with under-resourced families to provide their children with transformational, one-to-one professionally-supported relationships with caring adult mentors, so that their children will thrive.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor the legacy of those who opened doors and paved the way by continuing their spirit of leadership through mentorship. At Big Brothers Big Sisters, we see it happen every day: when youth connect with mentors who share their experiences and dreams. Every conversation, every achievement, every breakthrough adds to our community's story of progress. Because mentorship isn't just about guidance – it's about creating spaces where young people can see themselves in tomorrow's success stories. 💚 #BiggerTogether
