So many ways to get started
Education and Enrichment ProgramThe Education and Enrichment Program at Big Brothers Big Sisters strengthens the impact of mentoring by engaging youth in learning and post-secondary exploration. Through the program, we link our matches and families to colleges, universities, trade and technical schools, scholarship agencies, career exploration centers, financial aid support and enrichment activities. Opportunities are open to both Littles and High School Bigs. In 2011, high school seniors in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities program had a 40% higher graduation rate than would be expected based on state averages.
