About This Cause

Big Brothers Big Sisters believes that with the support of a caring mentor, every child has the ability to achieve his or her full potential. Big Brothers Big Sisters Orange County is the largest mentoring organization in California. Based in Santa Ana, Calif., the Orange County agency was incorporated in 1958 and works as a local extension of the national effort to make professionally supported, one-to-one matches between mentors (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”) facing adversity. Together with the Inland Empire agency, which opened its doors in 2013, the local organization serves more than 4,000 youth annually through programs that improve the odds of youth performing better in school and avoiding violence and illegal activities. Ninety-nine percent of youth in the program graduate high school on time, 89 percent enroll in college, and 100 percent said their mentors were their biggest influence on pursuing a higher education.
