🥰 Ready for Something Truly Rewarding?

🌱 Where friendship meets purpose in surprising ways

For over a century, Big Brothers Big Sisters has transformed lives through the power of mentorship, and right here in Colorado Springs, this vital work continues every day. Through carefully crafted one-to-one matches between adult volunteers ("Bigs") and local youth ("Littles"), meaningful relationships blossom, nurturing potential and inspiring dreams.

Whether sharing a laugh over ice cream, attending a Switchbacks game, or simply talking about life's challenges, these connections create ripples of positive change throughout our community. Each match is professionally supported, ensuring both mentor and mentee thrive in their relationship.

The Colorado Springs chapter welcomes volunteers from all walks of life who can spare a few hours monthly to make a lasting impact on a child's life. As one local Big Sister shared, "The joy of watching my Little grow in confidence and discover new possibilities is immeasurable."

Want to create change that lasts a lifetime? Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado is currently seeking mentors, especially for their Sports Buddies and community-based programs. Your life experience could be exactly what a local child needs to envision a brighter future.

To learn more about becoming a Big or supporting their mission, check out their website, visit their downtown office at 111 S Tejon St, Suite 302 or call them at 719-633-2443 today.
