WE ARE DEFENDERS OF POTENTIAL

For over 53 years Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Wisconsin has been IGNITING, INSPIRING, and DEFENDING the potential of youth in our community. We believe that every child has the potential to succeed and thrive in life. At Big Brothers Big Sisters, we match each child ("Little") with a mentor ("Big") and professionally support their relationship over time.

Why Male Mentors Matter

Right now, an average of 60% of the youth on our waitlist are boys. Many of them are waiting months, even years, to be matched with a male mentor. These boys need someone who will show up, listen, and believe in their potential.
