We are one of the 250+ affiliates around the country helping children achieve their full potential. #BBBS As an affiliate of the nation’s oldest and largest youth mentoring organization, BBBS makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers and children.
(26)
Our mentoring programs are proven by independent research to help children who face adversity succeed in and out of school. We hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program achieving three priority youth outcomes—academic improvement, avoidance of risky behavior, and social/emotional development.

A BIG thanks to Johnson Controls, whose employees exceeded their fundraising goal for our Bowl for Kids’ Sake campaign! In 2021 their contribution will be able to enroll 43 more at-risk children in our mentoring program and support their matches for the entire year. That’s 43 local kids who will most likely graduate from high school on time well-prepared for college or career, stay out of the juvenile justice system, not experience teen pregnancy, and become confident, well-rounded adults ready to take on the world and achieve their dreams. It just doesn’t get any better than that! Support Bowl for Kids’ Sake by visiting bbbsmilwaukee.org/bfks2021! @johnsoncontrols

Big Sister Simran and Little Sister Georgia have been matched for a year and a half. They enjoy talking, art and sharing time together, and formed a strong relationship that has continued after Simran's graduation from UWM last spring. They continued to communicate by email, phone and text after schools were closed and BBBS moved to virtual program. They continue to show growth in their friendship, supporting each other. Thanks Simran for all you do! #InspireChange

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee’s mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
Since 1975, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee has been the premier provider of youth mentoring services in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties. Our mentoring program makes a profound impact in the lives at-risk youth by creating and supporting strong, long-lasting one-to-one relationships between children and caring volunteer adult mentors. Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mentoring program offers three unique one-to-one options: 1)Community-based mentoring, 2)School-based mentoring, 3)mentor2.0. In each, volunteers make a minimum two year commitment to mentoring a child; engage with their mentee 3-4 times per month; and provide role modeling, friendship, and guidance to increase positive youth outcomes. We hold ourselves accountable for each child in our mentoring program achieving educational success, avoidance of risky behavior, and social and emotional development.
