Big Brothers Big Sisters of Erie County provides services to youth between the ages of 6-16 through five key programs:

Community-Based Mentoring: For as little as a few hours a month, Bigs and Littles meet in their community to share fun activities … stories … and a little bit of themselves. Learn more »
 
Site-Based Mentoring: Bigs and Littles meet once a week in schools, and community centers, to talk and have fun. It’s not about being a tutor … it’s about being a friend. Learn more »
 

The Mentor/Advocate Program, provides mentoring and advocacy for the agency's most "at-risk" clients. Learn more »

 
Mentoring Children of Prisoners Program: Across the United States, an estimated two million children, ages 5 to 18, have a parent who is incarcerated in a federal, state or local prison. Through this program children who are missing a special relationship with one or both parents due to incarceration, are matched with a carefully screened mentor.  Under the supervision of a dedicated and professional staff, these children will experience the attention and friendship they need during this difficult time.
