<p>Big Brothers Big Sisters of America - Program and Impact</p> <p>Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA) is the largest one-to-one mentoring program, serving more than 100,000 young people ages five through early adulthood each year. Currently, there are over 40,000 children on the waitlist, with five times more boys waiting for a mentor than girls. Through the BBBSA AmeriCorps VISTA Project, we seek to achieve this in a sustainable way by expanding the capacity of BBBS in three concentrated areas, thereby increasing volunteer recruiting and engagement efforts to address and serve the children on that waiting list, matching a greater number of youth annually.
