BBBS San Diego does a wonderful job of linking "littles" with "bigs." With so many single-parent families, or deployed military, the need for a big brother or sister is greater than ever. We can't go through life without a mentor or coach helping us, and BBBS provides that connection.
I've been involved the past two years through the annual Golf Marathon in June. The events raised more than $180,000 and $165,000. It's a long, fun day, and it gives me a chance to ask others to support a great charity. I've gotten to know the Directors well over the past year, and they are committed to a a servant leader culture within BBBS.

Programs: Big brothers big sisters of san diego county, inc.

Our vision is successful mentoring relationships for all who want and need them, contributing to better schools, brighter futures, and stronger communities for all. We serve children, ages 7-18, throughout san diego county in two core mentoring programs: community mentoring and school-based mentoring. We have two programs within community mentoring: our traditional program, and our amachi program, which provides mentors for children who have a parent in prison. Through our school-based mentoring, we have three distinct programs: bigs in schools (adults are matched with elementary aged children and meet once a week at the child's school); high school bigs (high school students are mentors for elementary aged children and meet once a week at the child's school); operation bigs (located on camp pendleton marine corp base, which provides adult mentors, who are primarily marines, for elementary aged children. Most of these children have a parent deployed).
