Big Brothers Big Sisters of Danville Area receives 96% of our funding from private sources. Support from Friends of Mentoring like you made it possible to provide mentors for numerous children in our community last year. And we know they need them. It isn’t easy being a kid these days. In these complex and confusing times, children need a caring adult to be a mentor and a friend – someone they can talk to and have fun with.

All money received stays in our community to help the children of Danville and Pittsylvania County. Kids with a Big Brother or Big Sister show real differences in their personal and academic lives. We know Bigs change kids lives, and we know that you want your contributions to directly support youth mentoring. Your donation will be used to:

• Recruit new Big Brother and Big Sister volunteers.
• Cover the costs of background checks and insurance.
• Ensure that trained professionals match children to caring, responsible Bigs.
• Offer one-on-one, ongoing supervision and support for every match.
• Provide cultural and social activities to children who would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience them.

No matter how much you give, your contribution will improve the lives of young people in our communities. Your donation will help children gain self-confidence, succeed academically, make positive choices, and build a healthy community.
