Big Brothers Big Sisters

If you are considering becoming a Big, do it! They give you lots of support, and it's such a great program. You don't have to have a certain income or education - my Little and I have fun just going to the park and petting all the dogs as they go by. It can be as simple and wonderful as that, and with a support specialist to help you along the way.

This program has been awesome from the beginning. My sons big is a perfect match, cant wait to see their bond in the long run. Truly thankful my child has a mentor outside of the home he can look up to and enjoy outings with, means a lot being a single mom raising my son.

I love the program and I will always be grateful for the perfect match for my daughter that was made by Ms. Anita Vivanco. The program has given my daughter a more positive outlook on life and people. I'm going to continue to support the program however I can. Thanks for everything you do and have done.

This organization is a fraud. They have an extreme need for volunteer mentors (who fund big / little experiences on their own and don't receive any money from BBBS) but yet use their publicity to instead seek money rather than to recruit mentors. They then use the money on their salaries and to sponsor activities that, while nice, don't further to reduce the extreme mentor shortage. Just notice the next time you hear about this organization what it is affiliated with and it's normally an event that they are soliciting money at. They use their community resources to get event tickets and give to their "friends." When the organization is called out for their inefficiency, they tell you that they are taking your child off of their "non-existent" waiting list. Years of waiting... For nothing. Get a kid's hopes up by going to an orientation abt the program only to never call you again. Look elsewhere. I won't ever donate my money to this organization again. Your child is nothing but a statistic to them. Sad. Until I actually sought their mentoring services for my child, I had no idea what they were really like.
