We are matching volunteers over the age of 21 with children between the ages of 6-18 throughout Mercer County on a one-to-one ratio. Matches meet twice a month for various activities like walks in the park, BBBS Mercer events, or just talking.
Becoming a Big is a simple yet rewarding experience that positively impacts children in our community.

“I really wanted an opportunity to give back to people who really could benefit from it. I grew up in not a good environment and I didn’t have the support of family and throughout my childhood and throughout high school. I relied heavily on some key mentors, not necessarily for Big Brothers Big Sisters, but in my own life. ... I just want to give back or help people. ”
A Call for Big Brothers
We’re always looking for more mentors, especially men. We have boys waiting to be matched with a role model. Research shows that having the positive influence of a Big Brother makes a real difference in a boy's life. So join the hundreds of thousands of volunteers who give a young person someone to look up to for answers.
