Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern MI

  • What if every child finished high school, went to college or university, got a job and gave back to our community? Wouldn't that be something?

The Big Brothers Big Sisters Mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported 1-to-1 relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
