Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Nebraska

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Nebraska Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Nebraska (BBBS) is a force for change. Inherit in every young person is immense potential.

The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Nebraska is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. Together, with Bigs, Littles, the families of young people, and our community, we defend that potential. Healthy relationships support resiliency, inspire, and empower. Since 1967, and as one of over 200 Big Brothers Big Sisters affilia

tes, we create matches that build powerful relationships. Youth in our community are waiting for Bigs to show up, join their community, expand their network, share in new experiences, and develop strong, committed one-to-one mentoring relationships. Bigs with a variety of life experiences, interests, and strengths are imperative to make quality matches. The benefits for Bigs endure in the same way they do for Littles. Big Brothers Big Sisters creates an environment of growth and adventure for both the Little AND the Big. Big Brothers Big Sisters is committed to providing for the safety of all youth through high quality support of all matches, ongoing and quality, and new and consistent opportunities for Bigs and Littles to build share experiences.

Almost 9 years. They would've hit the 9-year mark this February, but Tristan graduated first β€” so we're celebrating early. πŸŽ“

Since 2018, Tristan and Dylan have done it all. πŸ’πŸŽ¨πŸˆ

Paintball outings. Annual hockey games. A Husker game. Running the game ball out for the Siege. Middle school into high school. Front row seats on the bus, every single time. And approximately 4,000 photos where Dylan loves to smile for the camera.

Funny enough, they barely said two words to each other on their very first outing. Eight-plus years later? They're much better at it.

Dylan said "yes" to Tristan years ago β€” and kept showing up, even as his own life grew to include a family of his own. He was there when Tristan got taller than him. He was there for graduation, cheering loud.

This summer marks match closure for these two β€” but after almost 9 years and this many memories, we know this isn't goodbye. Congratulations, and good luck to this incredible match! πŸ’š

These two were giddy from the moment they met, and honestly? We can't keep up with their love of crafting! Between all the new hobbies they're picking up and getting to know each other along the way, Elaina and Ashley are off to an amazing start. Welcome to the BBBS family, ladies! πŸ’š

πŸŽ‰ We're kicking off this week with a matchiversary celebration! πŸŽ‰

Jasenia and Robyn have officially been matched for ONE YEAR, and it's been a full one! These two have packed in archery, Pete's Safari, and bowling β€” but their biggest favorites have been the Happy Brush, building stuffies, and decorating Christmas mugs. We honestly can't believe how much they fit into a single year!

Up next: throwing axes and fishing. Here's to year two, Jasenia and Robyn! πŸ’š

Two years matched and still going strong! πŸ’š Summer and Jessica are celebrating this milestone together, and what stands out most is their consistency β€” even with Summer's busier first year of high school, these two checked in every day by text or call. A lake day was this year's favorite memory, but really, they say every hangout is a good one.

Looking ahead, Summer and Jessica are planning more dinners out as they keep building their friendship through her sophomore year. Congrats to this incredible match!

πŸŽ‰ Our team has something BIG to celebrate! πŸŽ‰
This month, we were invited to Amur Equipment Finance's 30th anniversary party, where we got to share our mission with their employees, soak up the vibes, and β€” get this β€” we were SELECTED for a $3,000 award! πŸ’š

We are so grateful for everything AMUR has already given us: a multi-year corporate partnership, a vice chair (Mckayla!) and board member (Marissa!) who are constant advocates and volunteers, countless hours of support, and a green that matches ours pretty perfectly πŸ’…

We are beyond humbled by this opportunity and forever grateful for the impact AMUR makes in supporting youth and mentors across our community!

πŸŽ‰ Please help us welcome our newest match: Thomas and his Big, Tom! πŸŽ‰

These two hit the ground running with a bike ride to Runza and big plans to learn chess. Since then, they've already squeezed in foosball, ring toss, and pizza β€” basically an all-star lineup of hangouts! Thomas and Tom are all smiles and making the most of every minute together. Welcome to the BBBS family, you two! πŸ’š
